Sinead Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar are set to thrill audiences once again as they return for the much-anticipated sixth series of hit crime drama Unforgotten, with fans eagerly awaiting the new episodes since their premiere on Sunday (February 9).

The dynamic duo will be back as DCI Jessica James and DI Sunny Khan, alongside a host of fresh faces, including MyAnna Buring, Elham Ehsas, Victoria Hamilton, Max Fairley, Jan Francis, and Damien Molony.

Andrew Lancel is set to continue his portrayal of Jess's husband, Steve, while Kate Robbins returns to grace our screens as her mother, Kate.

In anticipation of the new series, Sinead discussed how the new series tackles big issues, including Brexit.

The Dublin-born star, 47, told : "I am European. I personally think the UK is better in (the EU) than out. My boys, who are nine and seven-and-a-half, have got Irish passports. They're very lucky."

It comes after, when asked to choose a standout moment from this season, Sinead found it difficult to single out one scene so instead chose to

Sinead said: "I have to say, everyone was brilliant this year. In those interview scenes, you are up close and personal, watching some brilliant actors do their thing."

"But watching and acting with Victoria Hamilton was quite something. She is so brilliant and so lovely with it. That was a real pleasure. I was very lucky...

"It was so lovely working with her and Max Fairley, who's a relatively new actor, who was brilliant, plays Marty. And Elham Ehsas playing Asif all just really brilliant actors and working with really good material. All well-written and well-rounded characters from Chris (Lang)."

Meanwhile, in upcoming episodes, the discovery of suspected human remains on Whitney Marsh prompts Jess and Sunny to alter their plans and head to the crime scene.

According to the synopsis: "Dr Balcombe's analysis reveals that the remains are relatively recent and suggest a grim conclusion: the body was placed there already dismembered. With this insight, Jess and Sunny intensify their search certain that other body parts may not be far away."

Unforgotten airs on ITV at 9pm on Sunday, February 9.
