10 Shows Like 'Unforgotten' To Fill The Mystery Hole In Your Life

Unforgotten continues to be a hit despite casting upheaval and a new DCI at the head of the cold case division. However, series creator Chris Lang has managed to keep the show humming along, and the arrival of DCI Jessie James (Sinead Keenan) helped the series ratings soar to even higher viewership than ever. Now that longtime favorite DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) and his team have gotten used to the new guv, and a new season is assured, the only question fans have is what to watch while they wait for next year's installment.

ITV has confirmed the show has been renewed, but, true to form, there's no confirmation PBS will air it, though it seems unlikely Masterpiece would drop such a popular series after so many years. However, even with the general assumption that Unforgotten will eventually air on our local PBS stations, the break between Unforgotten seasons has generally run around 18 months, even in non-pandemic delayed times. Though PBS initially ran Seasons 1 and 2 back to back in 2018, that was after it had aired 15 months apart in 2015 and 2017, respectively, and Season 3 was a full 18 months later in 2018.

The pandemic-delayed seasons had two-year gaps between them (and more), but even with filming returning to normal, chances are fans will be waiting until 2025 before the cold case unit that DCI Stuart originally put together will return. Luckily, there are several options to binge in the meantime. Here are a few streaming suggestions fans can settle in to watch.
