Other actors set to appear include Lindsay Duncan (A Discovery of Witches), Kevin Bishop (Porridge), Nick Mohammed (Intelligence), Bhavna Limbachia (Coronation Street), Sarah Parish (W1A) and Gemma Whelan (Game of Thrones), with more names still to be revealed.
And Sir Derek Jacobi will also appear – becoming the first actor to return to the show after he provided the voice of Dennis Fulcher in series three episode ‘The Devil of Christmas’.
Shearsmith and Pemberton have promised six more exciting episodes of the show, which has been running since 2014 and has won a host of awards.

And Josh Cole, Head of Comedy at BBC Studios Production, said, “We’re delighted to have concluded filming the sixth season of Inside No. 9. It's a unique series we could not be prouder of, and we are in awe of Reece and Steve’s extraordinary ability to continually raise the bar. Long live Inside No. 9!"
The last season of Inside No. 9 aired to critical adulation last February and March, with the guest stars including David Morrissey, Maxine Peake and Jenna Coleman.
Other stars to have appeared on the show in previous series include Gemma Arterton, Helen McCrory and Sheridan Smith.
Inside No. 9 will return later in the year. Looking for something else to watch? Check out our TV Guide.
