This new run of the show is notable for a number of reasons. For starters, it is the first without original showrunner Will Smith, and it is also the first to be adapted from two of Mick Herron's novels, rather than one.
Season 6 sees the return of most of the major players from the previous five – or at least, those whose characters have survived.
Meanwhile, Lenny Rush is amongst the new stars joining, and Olivia Cooke is set to return as Sid Baker, who was last seen way back in season 1.
But who else is in the cast, who do they all play and where might you have seen them before?
