Season 6 was first confirmed back in February this year, and ITV has now announced that filming on the new run is underway, with the release of a new image (above) and news of episode titles and guest cast for the four upcoming instalments.

The picture sees lead actor John Simm standing next to co-stars Richie Campbell and Laura Elphinstone as they wear their character forensic suits, with Simm holding a clapper board to mark the beginning of filming.

Meanwhile, it's been confirmed that three of the four episodes – which are once again based on the bestselling novels by Peter James – will be titled Left You Dead, Picture You Dead, and One Of Us Is Dead.

"This is the longest I’ve been involved in any show!" Simm said of the return to filming. "But it’s such a joy to do, and to be surrounded by a team like this for large chunks of the year makes it impossible to turn down. I’m really looking forward to seeing where Roy’s journey goes in this series."

Meanwhile, executive producer Phil Hunter commented: "Grace is such a joy to make so we are thrilled at how well received series five was. It’s great to be back in Brighton with our brilliant and talented cast and crew to shoot another four episodes this summer."
