New Cast Members for Season Five of Suspects

LONDON: FremantleMedia’s Suspects is returning to Channel 5 in the U.K. later this year, with the show’s fifth season to feature three new cast members.

James Murray (Cucumber, New Tricks, Defiance), Lenora Crichlow (Being Human, Fast Girls, Sugar Rush, Black Mirror) and Perry Fitzpatrick (This is England) will join original cast members Damien Molony (Being Human, Ripper Street) and Clare-Hope Ashitey (Doctor Foster, Top Boy, The White King) in season five of the crime drama. The new installment begins with the discovery of D.I. Martha Bellamy’s body by her daughter Daisy (played by Alexa Davis).

Paul Marquess, the managing director of producer Newman Street, said: “I’m incredibly excited about the new series of Suspects. We’ve kept all the elements our fans love; the authentic gritty feel combined with unpredictable and fast-paced story lines, and for the first time, we’ve added in a narrative arc that will bind this series together and make it truly unmissable.”
