Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sinéad Keenan will both reprise their roles as DI Sunil 'Sunny' Khan and DCI Jess James following the huge success of series five.
Unforgotten, written and created by Chris Lang, returned to ITV1 for its fifth series in February and has become the number one programme on ITVX so far this year, with episode one being the most-watched programme on ITV this year.
With the drama averaging 8.1 million viewers (after 28-day viewing and the Thursday night repeat) it's no surprise that following the final episode airing on ITV1, it was announced that the series will return for its sixth series, with Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sinéad Keenan back as DI Sunil 'Sunny' Khan and DCI Jess James.
DCI Jess James was new to Unforgotten this series and she and Sunny 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.
Series six will follow DI Khan and DCI James as they investigate cold cases and unsolved crimes from the past, unravelling secrets and unearthing buried truths along the way.
Further casting for the new series will be announced at the time of production and each of the new six episodes will be written by Chris Lang and once again produced by Mainstreet Pictures.
