TV drama Strike is coming back for a new series, but when can we expect to see it, and what will it be about?
The series - which is based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling crime novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith - has proved to be very popular with viewers, so it’s little surprise that it is returning for a sixth outing.
Here’s what we know so far:
The series is called The Ink Black Heart, and is based on the novel of the same name in JK Rowling's Strike series. The book is also the sixth instalment.
The narrative revolves around a dishevelled Edie Ledwell appearing in the office begging to speak to private detective Robin, who doesn't quite know what to make of the situation. As the co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie.
Whilst Robin decides that the agency can't help, she soon learns that Edie has been murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart. Robin and Cormoran then become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie's true identity.
Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger reprise their roles as Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott respectively.
Along with the two leads, It’s A Sin’s Ruth Sheen will return as Pat, Strike’s office manager, and Payback’s Jack Greenlees is back as Sam Barclay. Natasha O’Keeffe from Peaky Blinders and Hanna’s Caitlin Innes Edwards are also coming back.
Each series has a self-contained mystery, however, there are several recurring main characters across all of the different series.
The Ink Black Heart will be available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
The previous five series are on iPlayer now.
As yet, it has not been announced when The Ink Black Heart will air.
Stay tuned for updates.
There will be four-episodes in the new series.
Watch series 1-5 of Strike on BBC iPlayer.
