ITV has commissioned new drama The Forgotten.
The six-part series from Mainstreet Pictures will centre on a 39-year-old cold case that's reopened following the discovery of a skeleton buried underneath a cellar.
An extensive investigation is led by Dci Cassie Stuart and Di Sunil 'Sunny' Khan that spans the country and delves back in time to find the killer.
Chris Lang (Undeniable, A Mother's Son) writes the series and Tim Bradley (Teachers, Primeval) produces.
ITV's Director of Drama Steve November said: "The Forgotten will look at how an historic police investigation affects the lives of all those touched by it.

BBC Worldwide has claimed the global distribution rights for the series.
The Forgotten will begin filming in March 2015, with casting due to take place later in the year.
