Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, we had to wait a lot longer than usual for Silent Witness series 24 to hit our screens \u2013 but few fans would say that it wasn\u2019t worth the wait when the new series eventually arrived.<\/p>\n

With five brilliant cases, a couple of brand new characters \u2013 one of whom didn\u2019t stick around for long \u2013 and some great new developments for Jack and Nikki, this was a series packed with wonderful moments for the forensic crime drama\u2019s devoted following.<\/p>\n

And the good news is that we already know Silent Witness will be back for another series in the not too distant future, with a 25th run having been commissioned at the same time as the recently concluded season.<\/p>\n

But when will it arrive? And what treats will the series have in store for its 25th anniversary? Read on for everything we know about Silent Witness series 25 so far.<\/p>\n

Silent Witness series 25 release date<\/h2>\n

Ordinarily, Silent Witness tends to begin its run in late January, but this wasn\u2019t the case in 2021 due to delays to filming brought about by coronavirus restrictions.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether the 25th run will revert back to its usual slot or will now stick to an early September start date \u2013 but we do know that filming is underway, with the show\u2019s stars having been spotted on set by fans. When commissioned, the BBC said we\u2019d see series 25 in 2022<\/strong>, but as for when, we\u2019ll wait and see.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll update this page when we have more of an idea when series 25 will air \u2013 but don\u2019t be surprised if it is another later release than years gone by.<\/p>

Despite the tragic \u2013 and hugely surprising \u2013 death of Lyell newcomer Adam Yeun (Jason Wong<\/a>) in the sixth episode of the 24th run, Silent Witness fans will be relieved to see that Jack and Nikki both made it through the series without meeting their demise.<\/p>\n

As such both David Caves and Emilia Fox will be back next year \u2013 and if the end of series 24 is anything to go by, it looks like their characters could now be a couple, which would certainly add a new dynamic to the series.<\/p>\n

We can also expect Genesus Lynea to return as Simone Tyler after she impressed in her first four episodes, while there\u2019s every chance that the Lyell could bring in another permanent team member as well.<\/p>\n

And of course, there will be the usual string of impressive guest stars as well \u2013 we\u2019ll update this page as soon as we find out which actors will be appearing in the next series.<\/p>\n
