Initially, the show was expected to have one last season but it was announced last month that season five will not be the last but that it will be followed by one more!

Peter explained in a statement that ‘As we started discussing the storylines for Series five, it became clear that to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should return to the original plan and do 6 seasons. To be clear, series six will not bring us any closer to present-day – it will just enable us to cover the same period but in greater detail.’
