Series six filming ‘to complete before Christmas’
Series creator Jed Mercurio spoke last night about series six and revealed filming – postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic – will likely resume soon with a view to completing before Christmas.
He said of production resuming, in a Radio Times Q&A: “We do [know the date]. It won’t come as a surprise to us. There are a few things to figure out, but we’re working towards a day… I know a date has been talked about in the press, but as usual they got it wrong.”

“We are working towards a day and if we can get over all the hurdles we will be back filming.
“We’d love to be on air next year, so we really have to make sure we complete our filming before Christmas.”
