It feels like not that long ago, we were sat in front of our TVs in shock, as we watched Elvis die right in front of beau Georgie Lane, in the season three mid-season episode of Our Girl.
The hit BBC show aired its mid-season finale back in November, to a heartbreaking end.
And now, the third season is set to resume – much soon than we thought! On Tuesday 5th June, Michelle Keegan will return as Georgie in the tense military drama. Yay!
So what is Our Girl series three about?
We rejoin George she heads to Nigeria on a training mission, after the devastating loss of Elvis. She and her team are sent to help train local forces in the battle again terrorist organisation.
The description reads, “Still grieving and heartbroken from the death of Elvis Harte (Luke Pasqualino), Lance Corporal Georgie Lane (Michelle Keegan) is sent to Nigeria on a training mission, alongside 2-section.
“Working as part of the British Armys effort to help train local forces in the fight against terror, Georgie throws herself into work helping to train local medics, as well as overseeing a local womens health initiative.
But of course, things dont all go that smoothly. After encountering a scary local crime boss, Georgie heads off on an unrecorded mission, to rescue some abducted school girls.
BBC have said, “However, whilst 2-section work hard helping to equip the Nigerian Army, everyone is soon put on edge when they encounter a local crime boss and a seemingly ruthless band of mercenaries in the village near where a group of school girls have been abducted.
“As 2-section try to help the Nigerian forces locate the missing schoolgirls, Georgie unknowingly places herself and other members of 2-section in grave danger, when they go off grid.”
Oooh – we cant wait to see what happens…
Which cast members are returning for Our Girl series 3?

Its well known that the popular series airs on location in foreign countries. These batch of episodes were actually filmed in South Africa over almost a year. And its a feat that star Michelle has admitted was pretty challenging, being away for such a long time.
Shes previously said, “The first month in South Africa, I struggled because youre trying to find your feet. You push yourself. I did eight months away – six-day weeks, and 14-hour days, working on top of a garbage heap. I did it!
“It was the sense of missing out – my dogs, a birthday, a family meal or my best friend having a baby. I didnt think Id be able to do it. Its given me the drive and push.”
Yes Michelle!
