Channel 5 has renewed its crime procedural Suspects for two more seasons. The announcement comes after strong ratings and critical praise for the show’s unique format, which relies heavily on improvisation and documentary-style filming.
Starring Fay Ripley, Damien Molony, and Clare-Hope Ashitey, the series follows a team of London detectives as they tackle complex cases. Each episode is structured like a real investigation, with minimal scripting and a naturalistic style.
The renewal will see a total of ten new episodes produced across two seasons. The format has been praised for its authenticity and fresh take on police drama, standing out among UK crime shows.
Production on the next season begins shortly, with a premiere expected later this year.
