Silent Witness season 27 release schedule: When is it next on BBC One and BBC iPlayer?
Nikki and co return for another compelling season of sleuthing.
Long-running BBC crime drama Silent Witness has returned for its 27th season, with five brand new cases across 10 shiny new episodes.
In the opening two episodes, a body is found in a church, "sparking fears that a serial killer has resurfaced after 20 years". But that's just the beginning.
During the season, "death terrorises a university campus and no one is safe, a mummified corpse is uncovered – seemingly forgotten by everyone, multiple bodies are found entombed beneath a train station in a makeshift mass grave, and the Lyell is infiltrated by a malevolent force".
But while their work life is as testing as ever, Nikki and Jack's relationship is the most solid it's ever been.
"Don't you think that the closer that they are and the stronger that they are together, the more vulnerable they become?" she said.
"When you love someone that's when it can really, really hurt. If you don't care about someone or you're not bothered by it then it doesn't hurt so much, but now they're closer than ever so out of that great love comes great vulnerability too."
Season 27 premiered on Monday 8th January, with the rest of the series stripped across the following seven weeks.
