As series five of Unforgotten comes to its conclusion, ITV has confirmed there will be a sixth series of the cold case detective show.
The drama, starring Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar, currently averages 8.1 million viewers, with episode one of the series having consolidated at an impressive 8.4 million viewers (with repeats and on demand). The opening episode of series five is also the most-watched programme on ITV this year, its return was highly anticipated after lead character Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) was killed off in a car crash towards the end of series four.
Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sinéad Keenan 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.
