The BBC Scottish comedy-drama Guilt, starring Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives, is returning for its third and final series.
The show has been written by Neil Forsyth, who also wrote the hit BBC One drama The Gold.
In the third series, viewers can expect to see some fan-favourite characters return for the last time, as well as some new faces. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming season.
When and where can I watch Guilt?
Guilt first aired on Tuesday, April 25 on BBC Scotland and will begin on BBC Two at 9pm on Thursday, April 27 elsewhere. All episodes are currently available on BBC iPlayer, allowing viewers to binge-watch the series.
The second episode will air on BBC Two on Thursday, May 4 at 9pm, and there are four episodes in the final series.
What is the plot of Guilt?
The third and final series sees brothers Max and Jake reunited, but they must confront old and new enemies who force them to search for increasingly drastic solutions.
As they delve into their past, the brothers hope to find a future that is free of danger… and each other.
Max and Jake are running a struggling pub in Chicago when their financial woes take an unexpected turn, resulting in their deportation back to Edinburgh.
Upon arrival, they find themselves at the mercy of Maggie Lynch’s henchmen.
However, that is the least of their worries when a familiar and dangerous face from the past reappears unexpectedly.
The three main themes of Guilt are guilt, revenge, and redemption.
Mark Bonnar says that the third series is a perfect blend of the first two, with a serious heart and a healthy dose of humor.

Where was Guilt filmed?
Although the show is set in Leith, a coastal town outside Edinburgh, the previous two series were primarily filmed in Glasgow, which is reportedly 30% cheaper to film in.
In the past, they have filmed in Clydebank to replicate Leith’s shipyards and the Parkhouse Business Parks in Glasgow’s northern suburbs.
For the Highlands, Aberfoyle in the Trossachs was used.
Series three was also shot on location across Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the Highlands.
