How To Watch Unforgotten Season 6 Online
Watch Unforgotten Season 6: Preview
It’s been a frankly criminal two years since this hit drama was on our TV screens. Now it’s back, we’re dying to see DCI Jessie James (Sinéad Keenan) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) reunite to solve another compelling cold case, this time involving a dismembered body found on Whitney Marsh. Brilliantly acted, intricately plotted, and full of mind-blowing drama, simply scroll down for how to watch Unforgotten Season 6 online and stream episodes weekly for free on ITVX from anywhere.
The series has been a ratings smash since its 2015 debut, and remains confidently steered by creator Chris Lang (Innocents) and director Andy Wilson (Spooks). Even the shocking departure of series’ star Nicola Walker couldn’t dim its popularity. Introducing Keenan (Being Human) as Walker’s replacement, Season 5 maintained its audience of over 8 million, was named ITV1’s most-watched drama show, and continued to earn The Guardian’s praise that “there is no better drama on television.”
Although not initially on the same page – or even reading from the same book – Season 6 finds the frost between DCI James and the grieving DI Kahn has thawed. An emotionally murky new case awaits them – one in macabre dialogue with Brexit and its legacy of division – as they endeavor to bring justice to the murder victim.
But who did it, and why? That we’ll discover, oh so teasingly, after meeting a seemingly disparate group of individuals – among them an inflammatory TV commentator called Melinda (MyAnna Buring) and Asif (Elham Elas), an Afghan about to become a UK citizen – whose personal circumstances and connection to the deceased are slowly revealed over six engrossing episodes.
Don’t miss a moment of this hit UK crime drama. Simply read on for everything to know about how to watch Unforgotten Season 6 online as it airs every week on TV and online.

How to watch Unforgotten from anywhere
If you’re a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Unforgotten online just as you would at home.
While services like ITVX block access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there’s a handy piece of software called a VPN that can change your IP address to make it look like you’re accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK-based server and access the platform from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan.
2. Connect to a server – for ITVX, for example, you’ll want to connect to a server based in the UK.
3. Go to the stream you wish to access – for Unforgotten Season 6, head to ITVX.
Can I watch Unforgotten Season 6 in the US?
At the time of writing, there’s no release date for Unforgotten Season 6 in the US.
Prior seasons of the show have aired under the Masterpiece on PBS brand, but it’s usually between three and six months before new episodes get their US debut on PBS. For example, Season 5 aired in February 2023 in the UK, and only landed Stateside in September, so American fans face a long wait before the popular drama series returns.
A UK citizen abroad? You can always port yourself back home and watch the show on ITVX as usual by using a VPN.
Can I watch Unforgotten Season 6 in Canada?
We haven’t got word of a Canadian release date, though it’s almost guaranteed to land on BritBox in a few months. That’s also where fans of Chris Lang’s gripping crime series can now watch all five previous seasons of the show.
So, when Season 6 does finally premiere in the Great North, you’ll want a BritBox subscription. There’s a 7-day free trial for new members, after which time you can choose either a monthly sub at CA$10.99, or make a saving and pay $109.99 for the annual plan.
Currently out of the country? Simply download a VPN to connect to ITVX or your regional streaming service, regardless of where you’re located.
Can I watch Unforgotten Season 6 in Australia?
There’s no news regarding when Unforgotten Season 6 will gets its debut Down Under. Episodes previously aired on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) channel, which is where we’d expect the latest installments to arrive initially, before they’re added to ABC iView (and 100% free to stream). You can currently watch all of Season 5 here right now.
For Seasons 1 through 4, however, you’ll want BritBox. A monthly sub costs AU$9.99, or you can pick the annual plan and pay AU$99.99 for twelve months access instead. Even better? If you haven’t used the service previously, you’ll get a tidy 7-day free trial before paying a thing.
NB: If you’re traveling and want to connect to your preferred streaming service, purchase a VPN. That way you can watch Unforgotten online from wherever you happen to be.
