Where is Keeping Faith filmed?
The drama is filmed in Wales, mainly around Laugharne in Carmarthenshire.
It’s a town on the south coast which lies on the estuary of the River Tâf and was once home to the poet Dylan Thomas.
Amanda Rees, S4C’s director of content, said she was “thrilled” to see the series returning.
She said: “This pioneering drama is hailed as one of S4C’s originals, and the award-winning thriller, set in the heart of one of Wales’ most beautiful landscapes, has raised the profile of Welsh drama across the world.”

Series one and two of Keeping Faith were massively successful for the BBC and S4C, with more than 33 million iPlayer requests to date.
The show won three BAFTA Cymru awards in 2018, with Eve Myles winning best actress for her role as Faith.
In series one, Faith’s life is turned upside down when her husband and work partner disappears.
She’s forced out of maternity leave to return to their family-run firm of lawyers.
Viewers saw Faith attempt to keep her family together, while trying to trace her husband.
As she delves deeper into Evan’s disappearance, it becomes clear that it isn’t a typical missing persons case.
Faith discovers that Evan had developed links with the Glynns, a local crime family, as a way of fixing the family’s financial problems.
He owed the Glynns £80,000.
While searching for clues about what happened to her husband, Faith develops romantic feelings towards Steve Baldini.
What happened in series two of Keeping Faith?
In series two, Evan is released from jail, and Faith must find a way of living with him.
The series ended with Evan leaving the family once again.
Meanwhile, Steve told Faith “I’ll be here for you when you’re ready.”
The Guardian called the series the Big Little Lies of Wales.
Keeping Faith returns to iPlayer in February 2021.
