Unforgotten is a British television crime drama, first broadcast on ITV on 8 October 2015. The series was created and written by Chris Lang, and follows two London detectives, DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar), as they work together to solve cold cases involving historic disappearances and murders. The first series focuses on the murder of Jimmy Sullivan, a student who disappeared in 1974 whose remains are discovered during the demolition of a house in North London. Filming for the first series began in March 2015 and lasted for twelve weeks. Filming took place in locations including the London suburbs, the Essex coast, Westminster and the Fens.
After the unexpected success of the first series, ITV commissioned a second series, with Lang returning as writer. The second series focuses on the murder of David Walker, a Conservative Party consultant who disappeared in 1990, whose remains are found in a suitcase buried in the River Lea. The second series began airing on 5 January 2017. The first series received critical acclaim and was nominated for the BAFTA award for Best Drama Series in 2016.
