Unforgotten creator Chris Lang has brought out the detective in all of us with his latest tweet, teasing Nicola Walker’s replacement in the upcoming series of the ITV drama.

The writer announced on social media that the Unforgotten team had started table reads for season 5 with a photo, in which fans can just about spot the actor playing Sunny Khan’s (Sanjeev Bhaskar) new detective partner.

“Read-through day! Pared down (Covid) but so lovely to be back in the room with the #Unforgotten team,” he wrote. “And how fantastic to say hello to Sunny’s new partner in crime, sitting there, right next to him, reaching for her tea, plain as day!!’
