It will bring brothers Max and Jake, played by Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives, back together for one final adventure.
The third and final series of Guilt promises to be full of the trademark twists and turns that the series has become famed for. Not only are Max and Jake back, but the series will also see characters from both series return.
Series two ended with Max joining Jake in Chicago having left a trail of deception behind him.
As they return to Scotland, it becomes apparent the welcome they receive isn’t as warm or as straightforward as they might have hoped. As they battle threats both old and new, it remains to be seen whether they get the happy ending they crave or whether life conspires against them one more time.
Speaking about returning to Guilt for one final time, writer and Executive Producer Neil Forsyth said "We always saw Guilt as a trilogy so I am thrilled to be writing a final act for Max, Jake and some of the others we have met along the way. It is a story that will range from Chicago to Scotland, as our characters seek a final redemption."
The series is commissioned by BBC Scotland's Head of Commissioning Louise Thornton and BBC Comedy's Commissioning Director Jon Petrie. It will be executive produced by Nerys Evans for Expectation and Neil Webster for Happy Tramp North. With Gavin Smith and Gregor Sharp as commissioning executives for the BBC.
Speaking about the recommission, Louise Thornton said "We are incredibly proud of Guilt. It was the first drama commission for the BBC Scotland channel in 2019 and we have been delighted with how it has been received by our audiences."
"To be able to bring it back for a third and final time gives us the chance to wrap up the story of Max and Jake which we know will involve some hair raising and edge of the seat moments which the audience have come to expect."
And in a joint comment, Executive Producers Nerys Evans and Neil Webster said "We couldn’t be happier to be given the opportunity to complete the Guilt trilogy. Neil has crafted an incredible climax to the show that we can’t wait to share with viewers."
Guilt will begin shooting on location in Scotland later this year. It will premiere on the BBC Scotland channel followed by a network showing on BBC Two, and will be available on BBC iPlayer.
