International Emmy-winning Waking the Dead is back with a sixth season. BBC AMERICA’s Cold Case squad returns to revive long-dead cases with cutting-edge techniques. This season they investigate a bare-knuckle boxing ring, the skull of a 19th Century Sudanese ruler, a trail of gold ingots that leads to Opus Dei, and a Nazi ceremonial dagger — all to solve murders filed away for years.

Mal Young, BBC Controller of Continuing Drama Series, says: "Waking The Dead has very quickly established itself as an iconic drama series, pushing the detective genre forward. The commission of two further series, along with an Emmy nomination, demonstrates both the audience's and the BBC's confidence in the show."
