Could season three see major heartbreak for Mel and Jack?

All ten episodes of the new season will be released on the streaming site on Friday 9 July and fans can expect to see a few new faces among the cast. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that two new characters will be introduced in the new run of episodes; Grey's Anatomy actress Zibby Allen will play Brie, Jack's lawyer sister while Stacey Faber will appear as Tara Anderson, Lilly's (Linda Boyd) daughter.

The first two seasons of the drama, which is based on the novels of the same name by Robyn Carr, have been immensely popular with viewers. In January, it was reported that the show had overtaken Netflix hit The Crown on Nielsen's weekly streaming rankings and moved from third place to first on the top ten list.
