Mad About You's Helen Hunt, Back to the Future's Christopher Lloyd, Scandal's Dan Bucatinsky, Clean Slate's George Wallace and Oppenheimer's Tony Goldwyn are all set to guest star.

The official synopsis for season three reads as follows: "A year after parting, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is riding high off the success of her standup special while Ava (Hannah Einbinder) pursues new opportunities back in Los Angeles."

Its recent trailer teased a reunion between the pair – laced with the show's trademark friction.

Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Megan Stalter and Paul W Downs are returning as series regulars.
