Unforgotten finale leaves gap filled by Agatha Christie special on ITV

More good news for crime fans!

Unforgotten on ITV will leave a huge hole in the schedules after its series finale tonight (Monday March 29).

The crime drama has captivated viewers for six weeks, and they will not find out if Cassie Stuart survived her horror car smash but also the murderer of Matthew Walsh.

However, while all the loose ends get tied up tonight, there’s the lingering question of what takes its place next week.
