'Unforgotten' Season 6 Lands Late August PBS Premiere

If you're currently streaming I, Jack Wright over on BritBox, you may have found yourself missing Unforgotten more than usual this week. Perhaps the good folks at PBS HQ and Masterpiece were, too, because the entire lineup for Summer 2025 had arrived, and the return of Unforgotten for Season 6 is one of the highlights. The series finished airing in the U.K. in early 2025, and despite the series inching towards double-digit seasons, Season 6 was a massive hit, with the show's viewership hitting record numbers as more fans got on board with the new Jess & Sunny partnership.

(No shade to the Jack Wright series! It's exactly what I expected it to be, which is a version of Unforgotten led by Harry Lloyd instead of Nicola Walker/Sinead Keenan. But also: 12 suspects?!?! It makes Unforgotten's four per season feel luxurious.)

Speaking of Sunny and Jess, Unforgotten's transfer of power from Walker to Keenan was not as smooth as one might have hoped in Season 5. (The attempt to pull it off on top of a super complex case was asking a little much of the six-episode format.) However, the part that mattered — the chemistry with Sanjeev Bhaskar, who plays right-hand-man Sunny Khan, was on point by the season's halfway mark, and the enthusiastic reception Season 6 got heavily suggests that with that out of the way, the show's ensemble will be back to top form for the new case.
