A sixth series of hit television crime drama The Bay has been commissioned by ITV.
ITV confirmed to Beyond Radio on Wednesday that filming will begin on the new series in 2026.
Since beginning on ITV1 in 2019, The Bay has gained a huge following as a fictional team of Morecambe police try to solve crimes amid the beautiful and sometimes haunting backdrop of the town and the surrounding area.
The fifth series of The Bay aired on ITV1 earlier this year and starred a cast including Marsha Thomason as DS Jenn Townsend and Dan Ryan as DI Tony Manning.
The Bay was co-created and written by Lancaster-based Daragh Carville.
Scenes for the programme are filmed in Morecambe, and past locations have included the town's police station, the Promenade and Heysham Power Stations.
An ITV spokesperson said: "The Bay has been commissioned for another series and filming will begin again next year."
