SINÉAD KEENAN JOINS THE CAST OF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED CRIME DRAMA, UNFORGOTTEN, AS DCI JESSICA JAMES ALONGSIDE SANJEEV BHASKAR AS DI SUNNY KHAN

RTS award-winning actress Sinéad Keenan joins ITV’s critcally acclaimed and RTS- nominated crime drama, Unforgotten, created and writtenn by renowned screenwriter Chris Lang and produced by Mainstreet Pictures.

Dublin born Sinéad plays the role of DCI Jessica alongside BAFTA nominated Sanjeev Bhaskar, who has played DI Sunil ‘Sunny’ Khan in four
previous series of the hugely successful cold case murder drama.

The series opens with the clock ticking down to DCI James’s first day in her new job with an unforeseen and devastating introducion to her
family life. Determined to make a good first impression with her new colleagues, will Jess be in the right frame of mind to deliver and inspire the team? And inevitably how will the ghost of much-loved former colleague Cassie Stuart haunt her? After all, Cassie will be big shoes for her to fill.

Does she have the resolve, professionalism and spirit to live up to her much-admired and respected predecessor?
Jess’s first case is the discovery of human remains in a newly renovated period property in Hammersmith, London. But how long have they been there and is this a murder dating back to the 1930’s or has the body been disposed of in more recent times?

As the murder mystery unfolds, we’ll explore the lives of several central characters Jay, played by Rhys Yates (The Outlaws, Silent Witness), Bele with Martna Laird (Summerland, The Bay) in the role, Tony played by Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones, Derry Girls), and Max Rinehart (Jekyll and Hyde, Miss You Already) as Karol, who on the face of it appear seemingly unconnected to the victim. Hayley Mills will also play Tony’s wife, Emma.

DI Khan’s loyal and hard-working cold case inves8ga8ons team are also back together for the series with Jordan Long as DS Murray Bouling and Carolina Main as DC Fran Lingley reprising their roles. Returning to the series are Georgia Mackenzie as pathologist Dr Leanne Balcombe, Michelle Bonnard as Sunny’s partner, Sal and Pippa Nixon as DC Kaz Willets.
