Will there be a fifth season of The Syndicate?
The BBC One series about lottery syndicates follows a new group of characters each season.
Kay Mellor's BBC One drama The Syndicate is wrapping up its fourth season, and fans are already wondering whether a fifth could be on the cards.
Each new series (all of which focus on betting syndicates) features a new setting and a brand new cast, with the recent fourth season following a group of employees at a dogs kennels.
Series five is yet to be commissioned by the BBC, but we have our fingers crossed – and it seems the show's creator does too.
Asked about possible future series, Mellor told the Daily Star newspaper: "It took six years for the current series to come to screen.
"But there’s something cooking. The ingredients are there, so it’s there. But it’s not cooked up yet."
