Renewed: Unforgotten

Spoiler ahead.

UK police drama Unforgotten has been renewed for a fifth series, but will come with a major cast change.

“ITV would like to thank Nicola Walker for playing the brilliant role of Cassie Stuart in four series of Unforgotten which has become one of the best loved and most critically acclaimed police dramas on TV. Nicola and writer Chris Lang decided that Cassie’s story would come to an end last night, but that Unforgotten would continue, in series 5, with a new case, and a new ‘Partner in Crime’ for DI Sunny Khan,” said ITV.

Season 4 has had a record breaking season in Britain averaging 7.5 million viewers based on seven day consolidated data, up by 26% on the last series.

The series is currently screening on BBC First in Australia.
