Dci Banks has been recommissioned for a new six-part series by ITV.
The contemporary crime drama, which stars Stephen Tompkinson as Dci Alan Banks, Andrea Lowe as DS Annie Cabbot and Caroline Catz as Di Helen Morton, will begin filming for its fourth series in Yorkshire later this month.
The new series will feature a deeper exploration of Banks's relationship with his parents (Keith Barron and Polly Hemmingway), further complications in Annie and Banks's on/off romance and a career-threatening personal crisis for Helen.
Featured stories include 'Home', about the tragedy of a well-loved maths teacher run down by a car, with his girlfriend suspecting her own father and cousin, due to her having walked away from an arranged marriage.
Elsewhere, 'Ghost' will see Helen's past return to haunt her when an old flame from another police force implies he is being framed, before he is mysteriously killed.
