Inside No. 9 series 6 finally has a release date and fans of the chilling comedy anthology don’t have long to wait until they see another six 30-minute masterpieces from creators Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith.

The BBC confirmed Inside No. 9 will return on Monday May 10 with the star-studded Wuthering Heist.

Game of Thrones icon Gemma Whelan, Kevin Bishop and Paterson Joseph all star in the episode, which follows ring leader Panatalone, ‘who has in an audacious plan to steal a consignment of diamonds worth a tasty twelve million. But he’s hired a complete bunch of double-crossing clowns to do it.’

The sixth series features a typical all-star line-up, with Line of Duty’s Adrian Dunbar, Nick Mohammad, and Sian Clifford all set to appear.

In a trailer released earlier this month, Adrian was seen looking fed up in a kitchen, while Sian was reading a magazine called Horny Brides.

The news comes on the same day Inside No. 9 picked up two Bafta nominations – one for Scripted Comedy and another for Best Male Performance in a Comedy for Reece.
