The show is currently filming in London — the first time the show has left the US

What do we know about who Jennifer Saunders is playing

According to the Deadline press release, no details have been released, but we do know Saunders is one of several new faces (see above for some) added to the roster. The full list is Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous), Sean Teale (Skins), Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), Amar Chadha-Patel (Willow), Rhea Norwood (Heartstopper), Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game) and Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters). They are noted as recurring guests.

Crime solving podcasters Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez are back for season six alongside Michael Cyril Creighton.

If you need a reminder of the end to the absolutely fabulous (did you see what we did there?!) season five, Deadline has you covered:

In the final moments of season five, the trio [Martin, Short, Gomez] sits down to listen to Cinda Canning’s newest true-crime podcast. The podcast recounts the story of a red-haired woman accused of killing a royal descendant in London, whom Cinda claimed was innocent and sent to the United States for safety. Shortly after, the red-haired woman staggers to the gates of the Arconia, but she is revealed to be Cinda herself, having been fatally attacked in relation to this London-based royal scandal.

Cinda dies touching the Arconia, this satisfying the “in the building” aspect of the show. We can’t wait for season 6 — more news as we get it.
