Back to Life’s Daisy Haggard has “a clear idea” of what would happen in series 3
Fingers crossed for more episodes.
Daisy Haggard has revealed that she has plans for a third series of Back to Life – the BBC Three comedy-drama she co-created with Laura Solon.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com for The Big RT Interview, Haggard says that while she gave the second series a complete ending, she's open to bringing Miri Matteson back for a third outing.
"I knew how season two was going to end precisely, I just knew. But there is always a possibility for more.
"These first two seasons cover her immediate departure, her immediate period of having left prison, and so me and Laura [Solon] were chatting the other day and we were like, 'If we do do a season three...?' We got all excited."

"We definitely have quite a clear idea about what that would be too but I love it when things complete so you feel sort of satisfied and you get your ending, but there's a little dot dot dot of possibilities for more. But you still feel like you've consumed something."
