As they delve deeper into the case, the team encounters a diverse cast of characters, each with their own secrets and connections to the past. Among the new additions are an autistic man living with his mother, a history lecturer, a vocal TV commentator, and an Afghan man preparing for his UK citizenship test. While their lives appear disparate, the narrative intricately weaves together their pasts, revealing unexpected links that hold the key to unraveling the mystery.The synopsis for the new series, released last year, hints at a complex and suspenseful journey.

Andy Wilson, who has directed every episode of Unforgotten to date, will continue his impressive streak by helming all six episodes in the new series.Creator and writer Chris Lang has previously teased a storyline that has been brewing for nearly eight years, originating from a pivotal moment in British history: June 23rd, 2016, the day the UK voted to leave the European Union.
