FILM crews were spotted in the town centre last week filming the highly anticipated ITV show Unforgotten.

Residents excitingly sent in their photos of the camera crews in Bracknell Town Square, in the hope they may even have a cameo appearance.

But what Unforgotten fans may really want to know is when the fourth show is going to be aired on our television screens.

ITV have said they cannot confirm a date because they are in the middle of filming production.

However, Radio Times predict the show will appear at some point in 2020.

What is the hit-drama all about?

Each series sees DCI Cassie Stuart and DI Sunny Khan take on a historic murder case after human remains are discovered, as they attempt to get to the bottom of a crime which has remained unsolved.

Radio Times summed up that the fourth series will kick off with the discovery of Millwall Football Club supporter Matthew Walsh’s dismembered body in a scrap metal yard, but the team believes it had previously been stored in a domestic freezer for 30 years.

Laura Mackie and Sally Haynes, executive producers, said: “Unforgotten has gone from strength to strength and we were so pleased to see the audience grow for the third series.”

Produced by Sally Haynes and Laura Mackie’s Mainstreet Pictures, the new series will see BAFTA award nominees Nicola Walker (Last Tango In Halifax, The Split) and Sanjeev Bhaskar (Goodness Gracious Me, Paddington 2) reprise their roles as DCI Cassie Stuart and DI Sunny Khan as they investigate another emotionally charged and compelling cold case.

The series finale received average viewing figures of 6.9 million and a 28 per cent share.

The new series has been commission by ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill, who added: “We have been delighted with the reception of the first three series of Unforgotten and are thrilled to commission a fourth instalment. Chris Lang’s writing is incredibly powerful and his storytelling utterly compelling, so we have no doubt that the new case will have viewers gripped again.”
