The Guild renewed for third season, beginning late summer

As if there was any doubt, the Hollywood Reporter writes that Felicia Day's hit online sitcom, The Guild, has been renewed for a third season, courtesy of Microsoft. The third season will contain twelve episodes and will begin in "late summer," with a sneak peek available at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. As part of the agreement with Microsoft, episodes will once again be made available on Xbox Live and Microsoft's online video portal.

Felicia Day is currently in the process of writing the episodes, with plans to begin production in June. With regards to the plot, cards are being kept very close to Day's chest, though she has said that "the cliffhanger in Season 2 is pretty dramatic, and the repercussions of that will be felt by the guild [in season 3]. Expect a lot of real-life distractions for the characters and some hurt feelings from the last season."

We'll be there with bells on. In the meantime, The Guild fans can pre-order the season 2 DVD at Amazon in preparation for its May 19 release.

Oh yeah! I really dig the show and Ms. (hopefully) Day. I'm glad to hear it's up for a third season. See ya on live! Oh yeah, how about the episodes be about eleven minutes long this time! Woot!

Do you mean Miss (hopefully) Day?

Ms. is a neutral form that doesn't indicate marital status.

I love the guild and Felicia Day. Can't wait to see them back on my 360.

If you ever wanted to see Vork on drugs, you should check out the newest episode of dorm-life.com :P

"cards are being kept very close to Day's chest"

I wouldn't mind being those cards...

Just what I was thinking. There's something about a redhead who knows her way around vent. Rowr.

oi shes my fantasy gf.. mine!

That's her in the Sears commercial, right?

"...and I'm thinking you like the color."

it is. it was so weird seeing that for the first time, but good for her.

Yeah, sadly it's her.

I guess we all need money.

Here's to her future success in other areas, like her writing, so she can stop doing Sears commercials.

Yeah! Everyone knows sears commercials are just a gateway to whoreville!

What the hell is wrong with sears commercials? Anyone here that says they would turn down a one day sears shoot for money are either liars or, as patcher would say "retarded".

She did a sears commercial! Sellout! Jesus thats the dumbest thing I have read today!

cool! I love the show, even though I'm not a big MMO fan. I hope I can get a crew position on season 3? Please? :D I've got some audio/video production/post-production know how..

You should try contact them on www.watchtheguild.com . I've heard that they usually accept offers of help, or used to at least.

Hey! Please email watchtheguild (a) gmail.com with a resume to apply for helping out with the show :) Thx for your being excited about season 3, I should be writing right now, ha!

Felicia Day, redheads man, they kill me.

Me too, brother...usually when you end up dating them they're even more psychotic than the rest, though...lol.

amen

@Death: No kidding dude, but you know what they say: "Crazy in the head, crazy in the..." :p

"...way that they carve your chest and back up with those claws they pass off as nails?"

Yep, that's what they say. ;-)

These comments are rather less sleazy (mostly) than I imagined they would be about a pretty red head who likes geeky endeavours.

If you insist.

Im making a new controversial game, its called 6 days in Felicia.

I insist upon renting that game, for at least six days.

@Dirty: You win at the internet sir. +100

I still get choked up when I think of Penny. :(

I'd go straight for Felicia Day.

Also, The Guild is amazing. Just make it into a TV show for my viewing pleasure already! :( All these cliffhangers kill me!
