Channel 4 has dropped a huge update on all new 24 Hours in Police Custody - and fans cannot wait.

The hit landmark documentary has been a firm favourite amongst fans since it was first released in 2014, following a local police force as they investigate serious crimes.

Plunged into the heart of an investigation, the award-winning series follows officers from the moment a 999 call is made, right through to conviction as detectives fight against the clock for justice.

Earlier this week, Channel 4 teased that brand new episodes could be released very soon, sending viewers into a frenzy. Now, the broadcaster has dropped another tantalising update, leaving fans of the show on the edge of their seats.

A fourth stated: "24 Hours in Police Custody is the best thing on C4, but can anyone help me understand why they're not weekly, & just randomly appear? No 'season', just every now & again a new one's there."

A fifth replied: "#3 - we love watching that!" Another echoed: "Yes more 24 hours coming up. One of the best programmes on TV bar none!"

Earlier this year, new episodes were aired on Channel 4 before being replaced with repeats, a move which did not go down well with viewers at the time.

With calls for more episodes, it could be that prayers may be answers very soon. In the meantime, 24 Hours in Police Custody can be streamed on Channel 4 online.
