Reign season 3: Amy Brenneman set to return

From now until our huge fall TV preview hits newsstands Sept. 10, EW is bringing you 50 scoops in 50 days. Follow the hashtag #50Scoops50Days on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with the latest, and check EW.com/50Scoops50Days for all the news and surprises.

Things might not be looking good for Francis, but we do have some good news for Reign fans. EW can exclusively reveal that Amy Brenneman will reprise her role as Marie de Guise in an episode in the show’s upcoming third season.

As a refresher, the last time we saw Mary’s mother, she revealed her secret: She’s dying. But it seems she’s not dead yet, which is a good thing considering that Mary could really use her mother right now, what with her husband dying and her mother-in-law teaming up with Queen Elizabeth.

Unfortunately, we don’t know much about the where and when of Marie de Guise’s return — might Mary visit her in Scotland? — nor do we know what physical state she’ll be in. But if you ask us, the more Marie, the better.
