Filming has commenced in Ramsgate on the third series of Things You Should Have Done. The new series sees self-confessed ‘stay at home daughter’ Chi (Lucia Keskin) return as she continues working her way through the list of ‘Things You Should Have Done’ left behind by her late parents. Along the way, she’ll once again rely on her dysfunctional family, including Dave (Dan Fearn), step-cousin Lucas (Jamie Bisping) and unhinged grief therapist Ruth (Bridget Christie).

 

Joining the returning cast for series three is acclaimed actress and comedian, Ronni Ancona.

 

Following a brush with the law, Chi’s life takes a series of dramatic turns and a hilarious journey of self-discovery. Meanwhile, loyal Lucas remains by her side, continuing to do the wrong things for the right reasons; Dave becomes preoccupied with the legacy he’ll leave behind; and Ruth is forced to turn her therapeutic expertise inwards when her own life is thrown into turmoil.

 

The first series of Things You Should Have Done won Best Comedy Programme at the Broadcast Digital Awards, while both series went on to win the RTS Television Award for Scripted Comedy and received multiple award nominations. Creator and star Lucia Keskin was also recognised with the BAFTA TV Award for Emerging Talent, and the series was nominated for Best Scripted Comedy at the 2026 BAFTA Television Awards.

 

Transmission details for series three will be announced in due course.
