Unforgotten has returned for series five. Written and created by renowned screenwriter Chris Lang, the popular ITV drama will see Sanjeev Bhaskar's character DI Sunny Khan's loyal and hard-working cold case investigations team back together.
Reprising their roles for the new season are Jordan Long as DS Murray Boulting and Carolina Main as DC Fran Lingley. Also returning to the series are Georgia Mackenzie as pathologist Dr Leanne Balcombe, Michelle Bonnard as Sunny’s partner, Sal and Pippa Nixon as DC Kaz Willets.
