The final instalment of the show - starring Sarah Parish, Sharon Small, Orla Brady and Shelley Conn - will consist of four hour-long episodes with a focus on love, betrayal, loss, and forgiveness.
"Mistresses - The Last Act is a final four-part special event that will bring the stories of the four mistresses to a dramatic conclusion on BBC One next year," said Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC drama commissioning.
"Simply and elegantly bookended by a mysterious glimpse into the future, all the four women will be returning - Katie, Trudi, Siobhan and Jessica - with new and sometimes shocking stories."

Great News, its a great show and it looks like they wont ruin it by lettinh it go on too long. I think 3 series is usually enough.

Delighted Mistresses star Sarah Parish is expecting a baby in the New Year.
It’s a massive boost for the 41-year-old actress after her first daughter Ella-Jayne died tragically in January aged just eight months.
BBC bosses have even delayed filming of the next series of the saucy drama to give Sarah every chance of a worry-free pregnancy.
A source told us: “Sarah’s thrilled to be pregnant and wants to make sure she does everything in her power to deliver a happy, healthy baby.”
Sarah was still pregnant with Ella-Jayne when doctors told her and husband James Murray, 34 – with whom she starred in hit BBC drama Cutting It – that their unborn daughter had a hole in her heart.
The tot was born five weeks premature and spent the next four months in intensive care after two emergency operations.
Three months ago Sarah spoke for the first time about the heart-breaking loss.
She said: “It is terrifying when you have a baby and she is taken away ill. You were expecting cards and balloons and suddenly you are dropped into a nightmare.”
Thankfully Ella-Jayne was able to spend her final few months with Sarah and James at their home near Winchester, Hants.
Sarah said: “She had a great Christmas and was very happy. This was something the hospital gave us that was so precious.”
Sarah’s spokeswoman said: “Sarah and James are delighted to be able to let you know that they are expecting a baby early in the New Year. I hope you will understand their desire to keep any further details private until after the birth.”
Good news for Sarah, I am sure that viewers won't mind the delay in the return of this drama under these circumstances :thumbsup:

Day and time to be confirmed BBC ONE
Sarah Parish, Sharon Small, Orla Brady and Shelley Conn return for a new series of the popular drama that follows four friends supporting each other through the complexities of life.
Spoiler:
Two years have passed and the once impenetrable bond between best friends Katie, Trudi, Jessica and Siobhan has been broken. As the girls gather together, it's clear things have changed dramatically – there's tension in the room and no happy greetings.
Six months earlier and Katie has returned from Australia after her relationship with Dan failed spectacularly. She hasn't really got her life back on track and she's lonely, although pretending she's fine. When her widowed mum, Vivienne, turns up on her doorstep after travelling abroad she's less than thrilled – the pair clearly have a frosty relationship and Vivienne's interfering doesn't make things easy.
Vivienne, meanwhile, sees Katie embarking on yet another potentially explosive and destructive relationship, but Katie refuses to listen to her mother.
Trudi's cake-making business has grown and it's taken over her life. Richard is now a stay-at-home dad and, with three teenage girls to keep in line, it's a tough job. Their relationship is struggling under Trudi's increasing workload so an offer from investor Chris Webb to buy the business is more than welcomed by Richard. However, Trudi won't even consider giving it up, causing Richard to confide in someone who could destroy everything.
Jessica, meanwhile, is desperate to have a baby. Having suffered a miscarriage 18 months ago she has had no luck since and it's made her realise what she really wants from life – a family. But, with Mark still recovering from bankruptcy, IVF looks an unlikely option – until he seeks a loan from a secret source close to Jessica.
Siobhan, on the other hand, is a happily single mum enjoying the quiet life with her daughter, Elsa. But when Elsa's father, Dominic, comes to visit from America, it's not just his daughter who's thrilled to see him. Siobhan comes across an engagement ring and is stunned at the thought that Dominic might propose. However, there's a huge shock in store that will change her plans entirely.

Best friends Katie, Trudi, Jessica and Siobhan allure their way into more trouble, as the popular friendship drama continues.
Katie is forced to take a trip down memory lane when she visits the house she grew up in after her interfering mother, Vivienne, unexpectedly announces that she's planning to sell the property. But Katie finds more than she bargained for and unearths a disturbing secret that threatens to destroy her fond childhood memories.
Trudi is still struggling to juggle her successful cake-making business and life at home. Even though her fears that she's failing in her duties as a mother and wife grow, she still declines an attractive offer to sell her business to investor Chris Webb, leaving Richard furious. However, another offer from Chris is more than Trudi ever bargained for...
Desperate to have a baby, Jessica can't wait to start her IVF treatment despite the high price tag that comes with it. But financial worries begin to take their strain on Jessica and Mark's relationship and she's forced to face the tough realisation that they might not be able to support a child.
Siobhan begrudgingly agrees to be Dominic's "best woman" at his fast-approaching wedding. However, after collecting the rings with Dominic, she realises that she's not as happy about the wedding as she first thought and risks making her feelings clear when she drinks too much at his stag do.
