When is the start date of Silent Witness series 26?

Silent Witness will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the New Year.

Squeal!

The series – which has been running ever since 1996 – historically starts in January every year.

Of course, fans were disappointed when the Covid pandemic affected series 24 and 25.

Series 24 should have aired in January 2021, but lockdown put a stop to that.

It eventually started in September 2021.

Silent Witness legend Sam Ryan – played by Amanda Burton – returned for the special 25th series earlier this year.

And it was epic.
