The series shows life in a British women's prison from the view of three inmates -- Kelsey (Ramsey), Orla (Whittaker) and Abi (Lawrance) -- who arrive at Carlingford Prison on the same day.
Finneran, who appeared in Season 1 of the BBC show, will reprise her role as prison chaplain Marie-Louise.
"This is the best cast I have ever seen assembled for any drama of mine," series creator and co-writer Jimmy McGovern said. "The best crew too. I am so, so looking forward to it."
Helen Black (Life and Death in the Warehouse) is co-writing the series with McGovern.
