ITV Unforgotten series five: episodes, full cast, start date and time

ITV's critically-acclaimed crime drama Unforgotten is back for a fifth series.

Sinéad Keenan will join the cast as DCI Jessica James, alongside BAFTA-nominated Sanjeev Bhaskar, who has played DI Sunil "Sunny" Khan in all four previous series of the hugely successful cold case murder programme.

This series begins with the clock ticking down to DCI James’s first day in her new job with an unforeseen and devastating introduction to her family life.

Jess will be determined to make a good impression, but is haunted by the ghost of much-loved former colleague Cassie Stuart, played by Nicola Walker. She has some big shoes to fill.

Her first case is the discovery of human remains in a newly renovated period property, but how long have they been there?

How many episodes of Unforgotten Season Five are there?

There are six episodes. The first airs on Monday, February 27, at 9pm, with episodes then airing weekly at the same time.

Unforgotten will be available as a complete series on ITVX after the first episode has aired on ITV.
