Unforgotten
Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar return for series four of cold-case drama Unforgotten. The show returned for a well-received third series this summer, following Bhaskar and Walker as mismatched London detectives investigating historical disappearances. Series four is set to film on location across England in late 2019 and early 2020, with casting directors Victor Jenkins, Kelly Valentine Hendry, and Vicki Thomson.
Harlots
Hulu have confirmed that racy historical drama Harlots is returning for a third instalment, exploring the lives of a cast of high-class prostitutes in 18th century London, based on real testimonies. Oscar-nominated Lesley Manville is returning as madam and matriarch Lydia Quigley; Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown-Findlay is returning as Charlotte Wells, and Liv Tyler is back as Lady Isabella Fitzwilliam. Filming on eight new episodes begins in January 2019, with KVH casting confirmed to be working right now on supporting roles.
In the Long Run
Sky have ordered a second series of comedy In the Long Run, to begin filming later this year. Set in 1985, and loosely based on actor-writer Idris Elba’s childhood, the first series examined the Easom family, whose lives are turned upside down when a relative from Sierra Leone moves in. Series two begins filming in early 2019 and casting director Catherine Willis is attached.
