UNFORGOTTEN'S writer has posted the first look at season five - and fans already have A LOT of thoughts.
The ITV drama's fourth series concluded in dramatic fashion back in March with Nicola Walker's character DCI Cassie Stuart dying following a car accident.
Soon after, it was confirmed the show would continue without her for a fifth series, and now writer Chris Lang has shared a new update with fans.
Taking to Twitter, Chris shared a picture of his laptop on a table with some of the script for a series five episode visible.
Chris captioned it: "Back in my other office, in the heart of Soho, writing #Unforgotten 5. Happy."
Fans immediately responded to the exciting news, with one writing: "Hmm is Sunny having problems with his personal life, I can see Aisha and possibly a David. Bet Usha's back."
Chris replied: "Maybe he is. Maybe he isn't. Ain't sayin'."
Another fan tweeted: "Please write in a Dallas-type shower scene where Cassie didn’t really die."
A third added: "Please make Sunny the boss and not put somebody above him. His character arc to leadership will be fascinating."
Meanwhile actor David Morrissey - who has starred in the likes of The Walking Dead, Britannia and The Missing wrote: "Am I in it?"
