The new season of the show, will sadly be without Murphy's co-star, Helen McRory, who tragically died of breast cancer in April 2021. She played Aunt Polly.

The show was created by Steven Knight in 2013. He has also said the new season will pay tribute to McRory. Season 6 will air on BBC One and stream on iPlayer in the UK. Rest all, it will stream on Netflix. A film adaptation is set to shoot in 2023, as per Variety.
