Fans were rightly skeptical when Nicola Walker left the series at the end of the fourth season, with her crackling chemistry with Bhaskar one of the main selling points of the detective drama. However, Keenan proved to be a stellar replacement, with Jessie's initially frosty relationship with Sunny giving way to a highly entertaining pairing as the new DCI settled into her role.

Season 6 finds the pair once again digging into the archives to unearth an historic unsolved case. When the detecting duo are informed by pathologist Balcombe (Georgia Mackenzie) that the body parts found on the Marsh are fresh, it leads to the gruesome realisation that not only are there more dismembered pieces of the victim scattered across the city, but they may well have been alive when the process began.

The investigation will lead Jess and Sunny to a group of disparate characters, linked by their part in the cold case. MyAnna Buring stars as outspoken TV commentator Melinda Ricci, while Max Fairley plays Marty Baines, an autistic man in his mother’s care. Elham Elas plays Afghan immigrant Asif Syed and Victoria Hamilton is on board as London University lecturer Juliet Cooper. Discovering just how these people connect and what their involvement is in the case is one of the pure delights of the show.

While there's no confirmed release date, we know that "Unforgotten" season 6 will air for free on PBS in the States at some point. You'll also be able to stream the show via the PBS Masterpiece channel on Prime Video.

PBS Masterpiece costs $5.99 a month in addition to your Prime Video subscription, but does offer a 7-day FREE trial.

It's unclear at present when and where "Unforgotten" season 6 will arrive Down Under. Previous seasons have streamed on Britbox before airing for free on ABC, so we'd expect a similar pattern here.

BritBox costs AU$9.99 per month, but annual subscribers can get 12 months for the price of 10.

Remember, if you’re traveling and geo-blocking won’t let you connect to the streaming platforms you use back home, purchasing a VPN will allow you to watch "Unforgotten" online, no matter where you are.

What can we expect from 'Unforgotten' season 6?

The official synopsis from PBS reads: "In season 6, when suspected human remains are discovered on Whitney Marsh, Jess and Sunny are called to the scene. With Dr Balcombe’s expert analysis of the human spine, it’s evident the remains are relatively recent and her guess is the body was put there already dismembered. With this knowledge Jess and Sunny begin to search the area believing other body parts may not be too far away."
