What can fans expect when Inside No. 9 season 5 arrives? Anthology horror shows have experienced something of a resurgence in recent years, thanks to the likes of American Horror Story or the revival of The Twilight Zone. Inside No. 9 is a British series that debuted in 2014, and is the brainchild of stars Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton (Good Omens). Each episode is self-contained with a new story and set of characters, but each takes place in a location with a number 9 on it, which could be a house, dressing room, or even a karaoke booth.
Inside No. 9 isn’t strictly horror, either, with some episodes being domestic dramas or comedies. The show features some fantastic writing and plot twists and has included some starry guest roles for stars like Gemma Arterton (The King’s Man), Derek Jacobi, and Rory Kinnear. Inside No. 9 has received acclaim for episodes that are outright horror, including “The Harrowing” and “The Devil Of Christmas,” but also the touching drama of “The 12 Days of Christine.” The show also aired a Christmas special titled “Dead Line” in 2018, which also received praise.
The show has a devoted fanbase at this point, so when can they expect Inside No. 9 season 5 to land?
When Does Inside No. 9 Season 5 Air?
While Inside No. 9 season 5 started filming at the beginning of 2019 and the new series is now edited, no air date has been confirmed. Co-creator Steve Pemberton stated season 5 should be ready for autumn, but with 2019 drawing to a close there’s still little sign of the new series arriving. Unless it unexpectedly drops around Christmas, fans should probably expect Inside No. 9 season 5 to start airing in early 2020.
What To Expect From Inside No. 9 Season 5
While story details of Inside No. 9 season 5 are being kept quiet for now, it’s known that David Morrissey (The Walking Dead) and Ralf Little will guest star in an episode revolving around a football locker room. Other guests confirmed for season 5 including Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who), Phil Davis, Tom Goodman-Hill, and Debbie Rush.
Like previous seasons of the show, it’s best to experience the shifting tone and characters of each episode of Inside No. 9 season 5 fresh. Each season has yielded one or two classic episodes, so hopefully, season 5 will prove no different. There’s no word on another season beyond the next one, though it’s not hard to imagine Inside No. 9 continuing for the foreseeable future so long as its creators keep coming up with fresh ideas.
