E4 has released a set of promotional photos for the upcoming third season of My Mad Fat Diary.

The comedy-drama will return later this month for a final three 60-minute episodes.

Returning cast members include Sharon Rooney as Rae, Jodie Comer as Chloe, Jordan Murphy as Chop, Ciara Baxendale as Izzy and Dan Cohen as Archie, with Nico Mirallegro also back as Finn.

Faye Marsay (Fresh Meat, Doctor Who) joins the cast as new character Katie Springer.

The official synopsis for Season 3 reads: “Rae Earl is boss. Drinking, dancing and dating the hottest guy in the North – Rae has life as a teenager nailed. However, change is on the horizon as the gang grows up. Chloe has ambitions to attend business school, Finn wants to settle down and the spectre of university applications looms large. A new friend for Rae also forces her to see everything differently. As Rae struggles to maintain the status quo, will she be left behind or embrace the biggest adventure yet?”

Adapted from Rae Earl’s real-life diaries and her book, My Mad Fat Diary launched on TV in January 2013.

Sharon Rooney commented: “It has been a privilege to tell Rae’s story. My Mad Fat Diary has been a huge part of my life and, although I am sad that this amazing rollercoaster ride is almost over, it’s not over YET. We have more drama, more tears and more rude bits to bring you. The support of the E4 audience has been amazing, and I couldn’t have done it without them. So, in the words of Rae, “LET’S DO THIS”.’
