Will there be another series of Unforgotten?
Following the success of season 5, ITV have announced that Unforgotten will return for a sixth series.

Each of the new six episodes will be written again by Chris Lang.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com about writing the script for Unforgotten he said: “It's a unique show, in that it's got a format that is self-contained, but with a certain degree of serialised elements through the characters.
"It's incredibly difficult to sit down and create it from a blank page, so you need huge reserves of energy and enthusiasm to push you through creating six episodes.
“And it’s often very emotionally draining stories that you're telling as well, which require lots of research into really dark areas,”
Who stars in series six of Unforgotten?
Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar will both reprise their roles as DI Sunil 'Sunny' Khan and DCI Jess James.
Their characters have had a complex on-screen relationship that began with tension and conflict, but ultimately developed into a positive dynamic, promising an exciting new partnership for fans to look forward to.
The rest of the line-up hasn't been announced at this time.
ITV have said further casting for the new series will be announced at the time of production.
Nicola Walker left Unforgotten at the end of season 4.
