Each series so far has followed one investigation into unearthed human remains. Series five saw the introduction of DCI Jess James, played by the 2018 RTS Programme award winner Sinéad Keenan (Little Boy Blue). Keenan will reprise her role in series six alongside Sanjeev Bhaskar (Sandylands), who plays DI Sunil ‘Sunny’ Khan.
Public service broadcasters have a “fleetingly short space of time” to find a better financing model – and without guaranteed prominence on smart TVs, “PSB is dead, it is over”. These were just two of the stark warnings aired at an RTS panel discussion “Small beer or big deal: Should we still care about PSB?”.
In the final episode of ITV’s gripping drama Unforgotten, Cassie (Nicole Walker) and Sunny’s detective team are getting ever closer to uncovering the mystery behind Matthew Walsh’s murder thirty years ago.
Unforgotten returns for a fourth series with Nicola Walker (The Split) reprising her role as the traumatised detective inspector Cassie Stewart.
The commission builds on the success of the critically-acclaimed third season, which peaked with 6.9 million viewers.
ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill, praised creator Chris Lang for his powerful and compelling writing. “We have been delighted with the reception of the first three series of Unforgotten and are thrilled to commission a fourth instalment. Chris Lang’s writing is incredibly powerful and his storytelling utterly compelling, so we have no doubt that the new case will have viewers gripped again.”
