In the United States, original episodes of season three aired between September 28, 2007 and May 16, 2008. For airdates on other networks and in other countries, see: International Airdates. Season three had a total of four main characters, Melinda, Jim, Delia, and Rick. Rick was a recurring last season and was promoted to starring. Season three follows Melinda as she tries to uncover buried secrets from her past, she learns that the roots are bound to the roots of Grandview itself. She discovers that in the town's desperation to bury its own dark past, a whole other world was left festering literally beneath their feet. The season’s promotional song was the pop remix of Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift and a music video was made with clips from past seasons this season and performance scenes from the video.

Due to the Writer's Guild of America strike during production of the third season, the season went on hiatus for three months until returning in April for six new episodes after twelve had already been completed and finished airing in January. Because of this, the third season was shortened to 18 episodes out of 22 that were ordered.
