So, what can fans expect from the new episodes?

In September, it was revealed that actors Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day, Chicago P.D.) and Callum Kerr (Monarch, Hollyoaks) had been cast to play Mel's parents, Sarah and Everett, in flashbacks to 1972, which is when the pair met.

While Sarah is described as a "witty, free spirit from the big city with an ardent passion for activism", Everett is a "singer-songwriter with a poet's soul" skimming through life in a VW Van until his chance meeting with beautiful hitchhike Sarah shows him there's more to life than he ever thought possible.

The new episodes will also see Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson reprise their roles of Mel and Jack as they continue on their journey to parenthood. The season will also explore Everett's relationship with both Mel and the town following his introduction in season five.
