The series sounds perfect for fans of the BBC series Unforgotten, which recently completed filming season five. The drama similarly looks at historic crime cases, and the show’s creator Chris Lang revealed that the latest series would be set in Paris. Sharing a snap of a winding and cobbled Parisian street, he wrote: "Et c'est une 'wrap'!! Series 5 of #Unforgotten now in the can. Thank you to our French crew for their sterling efforts in Paris, see you all on the other side of post-production in January. Aurevoir."

It's not known what will take Sanjeev Bhaskar's DI Sunny Khan and new recruit DCI Jessica James, played by Sinéad Keenan (who was announced as Nicola Walker's replacement on the drama earlier this year) to Paris, but we can only imagine that it will be another twist-filled cold case that has links to the city.
