The final season may have concluded in 2022 but the BBC isn’t letting go of legal drama The Split just yet, with a Barcelona-set special greenlit three months after a Manchester spin off.
Abi Morgan’s show ended in 2022 after three seasons but the BBC has since ordered The Split Up in February and is now heading to Spain for a two-parter with Nicola Walker’s Hannah and family, while Toby Stephens is set to join the cast.
In the special, the Defoes are back and have gathered for a beautiful wedding at a vineyard, nestled in Catalonia’s wine region. Set across one sun soaked weekend, The Split special will encompass break-ups, reunions and plenty romance.
Stephens will play new character Archie Moore, while most of the original cast are set to return.

Julianne Moore and “Red, White & Royal Blue” star Nicholas Galitzine play a scheming mother and son duo with murder on their minds in the upcoming series “Mary & George.”
The period drama, whose U.S. and Canada rights were acquired by Starz, follows a “treacherous mother and son who schemed, seduced and killed to conquer the Court of England and the bed of King James,” according to the official logline.
Inspired by a true story, Moore takes on the role of Countess of Buckingham Mary Villiers, who guided her son, George, to seduce King James I (Tony Curran) in 17th century England in the hopes of becoming his all-powerful lover.
“Mother, have you found me a wife yet?” Galitzine’s George asked in the teaser, to which Moore’s Mary responds, “I think we aim higher.”

The chief of Scotland’s Marine Homicide Unit tries to keep her head above water after that big reveal in last year’s finale of Masterpiece crime drama Annika. Once Season 2 premieres on PBS on Sunday, October 15, others will soon learn what Nicola Walker’s Annika Strandhed told viewers in one of her fourth-wall-breaking moments: that a detective on her team, Michael McAndrews (Jamie Sives), is the father of her teenage daughter, Morgan (Silvie Furneaux). Regardless of the fallout, Walker promises no overwrought emotional eruptions in this series that mixes dry humor with dark cases. “What I love about the show is no one sits and wallows in anything,” she says. “They get on with it.” Cast and crew had to do just that when they started shooting new episodes in 2022.

Public television has held separate collective bargaining agreements with the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA for years. So, while studios and networks this fall faced the ramifications of dual Hollywood strikes, it’s been mostly business as usual at PBS.
Perhaps lost in the conversation about this most unusual fall — in which the broadcast networks tweaked and re-tweaked their schedules in light of the lengthy production stoppage — has been PBS’ ability to keep the majority of its schedule intact.
In fact, according to Sylvia Bugg, PBS’ chief programming executive and Gm of general audience programming, just one program on its fall lineup was impacted by the strikes: John Leguizamo’s “American História: The Untold History of Latinos,” which had been scheduled to premiere last month. In solidarity with the strikes, Leguizamo opted to delay the project until 2024. PBS replaced it with another docuseries, “Becoming Frida Kahlo.”

‘Unforgotten’ Season 5 Finds Sunny ‘Extremely Lost’ After Cassie’s Death, Says Actor Sanjeev Bhaskar
British mystery series “Unforgotten” returns to PBS on Sept. 3 for its fifth season — but minus longtime co-lead Nicola Walker, whose character, Dci Cassie Stuart, was tragically killed off at the end of Season 4.
Her partner Sunil “Sunny” Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) is still grieving her loss when he’s saddled with a new boss, Dci Jesse James (Sinéad Keenan of “Being Human”), to whom he immediately takes an intense dislike — as does his team.
Longtime fans might also resent the new character who’s taken Cassie’s place. Both Bhaskar and Keenan spoke with TheWrap ahead of the Season 5 premiere about where we find Sunny and Jesse.
TheWrap: How was it coming into a show that’s already established and knowing that not only the characters, but even fans might be hostile?

The long shadow of memory haunts the suspects in every season of Unforgotten, a first-rate Masterpiece cold-case mystery series. Each unearthed crime generates ripples of consequence, shattering lives as the truth comes into the light. But in Season 5, it’s the more recent accidental death of original lead detective Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) that has everyone spiraling — especially her former partner Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar). Sunny’s sustained grief, revisited nine months after last season’s tragic climax, creates tension at work and on the home front, where his fiancée Sally (Michelle Bonnard) can’t help but complain, “It’s hard to feel jealous of a dead woman, but I do.” And that’s nothing compared to the chill that instantly sets in at the precinct when Cassie’s replacement is introduced: the brusque Jessica “Jessie” James (Sinéad Keenan), who makes no friends when she keeps messing up the names...

Fans won’t be instantly smitten with Unforgotten’s new detective chief inspector, and that’s fine with Chris Lang, the creator and writer of the engrossing British cold-case drama, returning for Season 5 on Sunday, September 3, on PBS. He anticipated it would take time for viewers to warm up to Jessica James (Sinéad Keenan), who replaces Nicola Walker’s Cassie Stuart in the Masterpiece series’ fifth season following the beloved character’s death. Lang’s solution: to have her still-grieving colleagues, led by Detective Inspector Sunny Khan, also struggle to forge a connection with their boss, even though nine months have passed since Cassie died. “I knew the audience would come to it feeling a huge sense of loss and probably some resentment,” Lang says. “So I wanted to dive straight in to a man who’s still wrestling with grief and loss, which is impacting his professional life and...

Mayflies lead Tony Curran will play the role opposite previously announced Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine.
Curran, who starred in the BBC adaptation of Mayflies as a man with cancer considering euthanasia, has boarded alongside a major cast roster including Nicola Walker (The Split) as Lady Hatton, Niamh Algar (The Wonder) as Sandie, Trine Dyrholm (The Legacy, Queen Of Hearts) as Queen Anne, Sean Gilder (Sherwood, Slow Horses) as Sir Thomas Compton and Simon Russell Beale (The Death of Stalin, The Outfit) as Sir George Villiers.
Hera Pictures’ Mary & George is inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mary Villiers, who moulded her beautiful and charismatic son, George, to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover.

Unforgotten creator Chris Lang has made a request to fans of the ITV drama.
The series returned for a fifth run last week for its first series without former star Nicola Walker.
Sanjeev Bhaskar returns as Di Sunny Khan in the episodes alongside new cast addition Sinead Keenan, who plays Dci Jess James.
Unlike other British dramas, including BBC series Happy Valley, the entirety of the new series has been made available to view on its channel’s dedicated viewing platform.
However, while Lang isn’t exactly requesting people to swerve watching all episodes at once, he has stepped in to ask that these viewers keep the show’s surprises a secret from those who want to wait.
“Thx so much for all your lovely comments about #Unforgotten !” he wrote on Twitter on Wednesday (1 March).
He added: “Lots of you bingeing, so can I politely ask you don’t post...

Two new works based on existing material dominated the nominations for the 2023 Olivier Awards, the top theatre honor in Britain. “My Neighbour Totoro” and “Standing at the Sky’s Edge” lead the play and musical fields with nine and eight bids apiece. The former is a stage adaptation of the Studio Ghibli film of the same name, brought to life in a visually stunning production featuring impressive puppetry by Basil Twist. “Standing at the Sky’s Edge” uses songs from the Richard Hawley album and new material to tell the story of three families in a Sheffield housing complex.
Revivals had strong showings, too. Director Daniel Fish’s remounting of “Rodger & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!” and the Paul Mescal-led “A Streetcar Named Desire” netted seven and six nominations, respectively. This production of “Oklahoma!” previously played Broadway and received eight Tony Award nominations, including wins for Best Revival and Featured Actress...

Warning: This Series 5 Review Is Spoiler-free But Contains A major Series 4 spoiler.
With its ‘decomposing murder victims dug up decades later’ premise, Unforgotten has never been a cosy crime drama. Alongside some extremely grim-looking corpses, past series have excavated painful topics, from racism to childhood sexual abuse, alcoholism, psychopathy and dementia.
Series 5, a story about addiction and violence that opens with the discovery of a human leg theorised to have been chewed off by rats, is no different. What is different this time around is that a crucial ingredient is missing: relief from the bleakness.
In the past, the grimness of Unforgotten’s cases was balanced out by the reassuring and easy camaraderie of the show’s two leads, played by Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar.
From Series 1 – 4, longstanding colleagues and pals Dci Cassie Stuart and Di Sunny Khan investigated cold cases with a warm rapport that involved always agreeing...

British television is brutal. The job security of actors, even in leading roles, is perilous. From the urtext, Spooks, where everyone from Keeley Hawes to Matthew Macfadyen cut their teeth, through to ITV’s returning Monday night drama, Unforgotten, writers have always been willing to throw their characters under the bus (sometimes literally). The challenge, then, is reacclimating audiences, once the dust settles, to a very different version of the same old show.
Back for its fifth season, Unforgotten is still reeling from the death of Nicola Walker’s Cassie Stuart. Di Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) is grieving, while incoming Dci Jessie James (Sinéad Keenan) is met by a rather cold shoulder. She doesn’t help herself: at home, her family life is falling apart, and the new gig couldn’t come at a worse time. Both she and Sunny are thinking of chucking it all in: Sunny is interrupted...
