ITV has released its bumper line-up of new programming for winter and the new year and it's jam-packed with dramas. From psychological thrillers to book adaptations and crime and medical dramas, there will be something for everyone in the new year.
Fans of ITV's long-standing series Unforgotten were already aware the programme was returning in 2023 after writer Chris Lang revealed the cast has wrapped up production. Posting on Twitter he told his 22k followers: "So we finally finished production on S5 of @Unforgotten last week. All that is left to be done now is for it to be wrapped and tied with a bow, and then it'll be delivered to you in the new year. It's close team, it's so close. @TVSanjeev @SineadKeenan."
The cast, which is led by actor Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunny Khan, will see a shake-up following the death of DCI Cassie Stuart in season 4. Cassie was played by Nicola Walker, but it will be Sinéad Keenan, known for Showtrial and Little Boy Blue, who will be taking over the reins in season 5. ITV bosses confirmed the Dublin-born actor will play the role of DCI Jessica James when the show returns in 2023. You can read more on this here.
