What happened in the last episode?

The start of the new season of Unforgotten Season 6 introduced a new cold case with the body of Gerard (Gerry) Samuel Cooper being discovered. DI Sunny Khan and DCI Jess James spearheaded the search while they tackled the new set of personal conflicts that characterized their professional partnership.

Episode 1 took a great many pages to establish the main mystery, to disclose the victim's name, and to establish potential suspects. It kept us guessing with all sorts of storylines that will converge as the case becomes clearer. The season premiere did well at establishing the season, inquiry being something that Episode 2 should do better.


What to expect from Episode 2

Unforgotten Season 6 Episode 2 will reveal what happened in the season premiere. The detectives will keep investigating the past of Gerry Samuel Cooper, and details about his private life begin to come out. His widow is set to be introduced, and details that come out about him are going to add more suspects and make the case more complicated.

Episode 2 is expected to carry the show’s signature reflective, questioning tone. Viewers can anticipate the story moving forward while deepening character connections and teasing larger truths, all without revealing too much too soon.


Season format and creative team

Unforgotten Season 6 follows the standard six-episode structure, each about 60 minutes long. The season strikes a balance between procedural drama and character drama, an aspect that has dominated the series.

The main cast in Season 6 includes Sinéad Keenan as DCI Jess James and Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunny Khan. Guest actors include MyAnna Buring, Victoria Hamilton, Maximilian Fairley, Elham Elas, and Phaldut Sharma. Behind the camera, the season recycles Chris Lang as writer and Andy Wilson as director in order to keep the creative plan identical.


Unforgotten Season 6 Episode 2 will air in the US on August 31, 2025. Thanks to streaming on ITVX, PBS Passport, and BBC Player, audiences worldwide can watch the episode despite the staggered release schedule.

As Gerry Samuel Cooper's search continues, Episode 2 will bring new alternatives and solutions to the tension that has been built in the pilot. The season, with six episodes, will have an even more tense build-up, clever layering of storylines, and a tightly plotted pace that Unforgotten Season 6 has refined.
