It's not known what will take Sanjeev Bhaskar's DI Sunny Khan and new recruit DCI Jessica James, played by Sinéad Keenan (who was announced as Nicola Walker's replacement on the drama earlier this year) to Paris, but we can only imagine that it will be another twist-filled cold case that has links to the city.

Not much is known about the new episodes yet, but while walking the red carpet of the TV BAFTAs this year, Sanjeev revealed that the show will feature suspects that are "quite different" to previous seasons.
"In terms of format it's very similar to the others, but there's a range of ages in the suspects, which I don't think has happened before," he told RadioTimes.com. "They're quite different so that's kind of interesting too."
