The first episode of the new series will air on BBC One at 21:00 BST on Sunday, swiftly followed by a second episode airing at the same time the following day.
There will be a total of six episodes, which will be screened on Sunday and Monday nights over a period of three weeks.
Set in the present day, the new series introduces two new families to the drama.
Meanwhile, a newly-appointed Sheriff of Nottingham is passionately fighting against a proposed new mine for the area, which brings the promise of much-needed jobs, but also unwelcome reminders of past problems.
Among the new cast members are Monica Dolan, Sharlene Whyte, David Harewood and Robert Lindsay.
They join the existing cast, which includes David Morrissey and Lesley Manville.
