Not only that, the creator behind the show, Chris Lang, has revealed that, if given the green light, he'd be up for penning a new script. He told Radio Times: "Certainly, if they asked me, I'd do a season six. I've got a season 6 in my head. So yeah, it's down to the broadcaster, whether they asked me to do it."
The writer also opened up about what it was like bringing a new star onto the show to act alongside Sanjeev Bhaskar's DI Sunny Khan. "Now it helps of course that that 'someone else' is Sinéad Keenan.

"If we'd searched every day for a year we wouldn't have found a better actress, nor one who filled into the Unforgotten world more effortlessly."
He added: "But we didn't have to search for a year, we didn't have to search for a day, because as soon as I knew the team needed a new DCI, I also knew it had to be Sinéad, having watched her TV work in slack jawed wonder, over the years. That was my hunch anyway. Having now completed production, I can confidently say it was the soundest hunch I ever had."
