She is currently meeting with writers to figure out how things will play out.
Jess told the Write On podcast: “There are a couple of clues at the end of the new season which might give people some idea of where we’re headed in the next couple of seasons, so perhaps they can pick over that.
“At the moment we are writing for series four in the writer’s room, and we’re chugging along.”
The new series of the Netflix show will follow the romance between Nicola Coughlan’s Penelope Featherington and Luke Newton’s Colin Bridgerton.

STEVEN’S DOCTOR DREAMS
DOCTOR Who has taken over the life of show writer Steven Moffatt.
So much so that even when he isn’t hired to pen new episodes, he’s conjuring up ideas for the sci-fi series to keep himself entertained in his day-to-day life.
He revealed: “I’m always trying to think of new stories, but not in a burning way, like ‘I must run to my computer and write it now’, not at all. Part of a writer’s job is just daydreaming.

“Because the show has been such a big part of my life, sometimes I just daydream about Doctor Who stories – they are just something to entertain me on a Tube ride.
“There’s only so much of Doctor Who you can write – though I seem to be trying to test that theory!”
