The added edge of the case being a very well known one means that there are a lot of added dimensions to this case, that we haven't seen in previous aired episodes. The third instalment of this addictive crime drama kicks off with the sad discovery of human remains that transpire to be Hayley's. Season 3 is definitely set to be as addictive and nail biting, but will it be real? This is super different to the previous seasons when the cases covered are about lesser known cases, ones that weren't historically significant or well known. One of those cases that stays in peoples' minds forever and is very public. This season is no different, with the enormously loveable detective team hitting the pavements in search of justice for an iconic and very well known cold case. Previous seasons weren't based on true stories but certainly address lots of really hard hitting heavy real life themes. So is Season 3 of Unforgotten based on a true story?
As Season 3 is set to air on Sunday July 15, the hype is very much already swirling with few hints being given about what sort of case will be covered this season. DCI Cassie Stewart, played by Nicola Walker, and DI Sunny Khan, played by Sanjeev Bhaskar, had viewers biting their fingernails each week and braying for more at the end of each season.
When ITV brought Unforgotten to our screens back in 2015, people instantly fell for the cold case style detective show.
