From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Inside No 9  fans will be excited to know that a new series has been completed.

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have been hard at work putting together a collection of new episodes for their popular anthology show, and the BBC has just announced that filming has officially wrapped.

Alongside the news comes the name of the actors who will be guest starring in the next series.

Line of Duty actor Adrian Dunbar and Fleabag’s Sian Clifford will be appearing. Sarah Parish, most recently seen in Industry, and Patterson Joseph (Peep Show), will also feature.

Comedian Kevin Bishop, Lindsay Duncan and Nick Mohammed are starring in the series too.

Gemma Whelan, known for Game of Thrones and Killing Eve, rounds out the cast.

Speaking about the new episodes, Shearmsith and Pemberton said: “We started filming in March last year but had to hit pause due to the pandemic. As proud parents we couldn’t possibly choose a favourite series, but like any youngest sibling this one is cheeky, funny – and can get away with murder."

The Independent spoke to the pair ahead of the fifth series in February 2020, and went deep on the history of Inside No 9 to date.

It is currently unknown when series six will begin.
