Fans of ITV’s Unforgotten are in luck – because the channel has revealed filming is underway on the highly-anticipated fourth series.
Writer Chris Lang said of the new season: “I am so excited to be bringing back the Unforgotten team for a fourth series, as Cassie and Sunny take on perhaps their most challenging situation to date. Yet again, we’ve assembled an astonishing cast, and I cannot wait to see how the top actors of their generation, start bringing my characters to life.”
ITV has yet to confirm a release date for Unforgotten season three officially, but filming has begun on the new run.
The dates for the two previous seasons of Unforgotten have diverse.
The very first series aired in October 2015 and also the follow-up hit screens in January 2017, which means it’s hard to forecast when the season will be broadcast.
Much like the past runs, season three of Unforgotten will include six episodes using a case.
Season three will soon see Last Tango In Halifax actress Nicola Walker reprising her role.
By her side is going to be comedian Sanjeev Bhaskar as her spouse and buddy DI Sunny Khan.
Like the previous two seasons, there will be a series of cast members joining the series as characters included in the most recent case.
Season three will comprise The Crown and Victoria actor Alex Jennings, Kevin R McNally out of Pirates Of The Caribbean and Designated Survivor, Neil Morrissey of Line of Duty, and Men Misbehaving fame, and James Fleet in The Vicar of Dibley.
The four actors will be playing a close-knit set of school friends described as having”stood by one another through thick and thin.”
Season three has again been penned by Unforgotten founder Chris Laing and will observe the detective duo carrying on a different”emotionally-charged cold case.”
The plot synopsis from ITV reads: “When the body of a teenage girl who went missing in the turn of the millennium is found at a construction site from the M1 motorway, the four men are put under the spotlight, and their customs are tested to the limit.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome such a fantastic cast of exceptionally talented actors to combine Nicola and Sanjeev for its next series of Unforgotten,” said producers Sally Haynes and Laura Mackie.
They proceeded to state: “Chris Lang’s complex and intricate scripts make better and better each year, and the brand new story is no exception.
“We also delve deeper into Sunny and Cassie’s own lives this series, inducing the effects the cases have on their relationships and wellbeing.”
Season three will probably be set in places across the south of England, including West Sussex, Norfolk, Bristol, Hampshire, and London.
The coming run is slated to”investigate how everyday lives could be fractured and ruined by a single event, demonstrating that appearances can often be deceiving.”
