Eight new episodes of the crime drama will begin production in November.

Bradley Walsh and Paul Nicholls will return as DS Ronnie Brooks and DS Sam Casey, alongside Dominic Rowan as Chief Prosecutor Jacob Thorne and Peter Davison as Director of the Crown Prosecution Service, Henry Sharpe.

However, Freema Agyeman and Harriet Walters will not return due to filming and theatre commitments.

Executive producer Jane Featherstone “We are incredibly excited about our new series. Consequently, we have some brilliant and surprising storylines for the cast and we look forward to filming.”

The opening two episodes will be a two-part story written by Emilia di Girolamo, with the second episode exploring ‘a day in the life’ of the characters.
