CB Strike Season 6, subtitled “The Ink Black Heart”, streams in Australia this week.

CB Strike fans in Australia will be pleased to know that its latest sixth season is set to arrive on television this coming Friday. The series itself is based on the novels featuring fictional private detective Cormoran Strike, penned by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

CB Strike Season 5 debuted in late 2022 (early 2023 in Australia), meaning it’s been awhile since we’ve seen Cormoran Strike (Tom Burke) and Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger) investigating crimes and unmasking villains. After a two-year hiatus, the sleuthing duo is back for another puzzling case.


CB Strike Season 6 will be streaming in Australia from Friday, 24 January 2025 with episodes rolling out weekly on BINGE, Foxtel, and Foxtel Now. The finale will air on Friday, 14 February 2025. On Foxtel, every new episode from The Ink Black Heart airs on Showcase at 8.30pm, then on demand on Foxtel Now.

The sixth season, which consists of four episodes, originally aired in the UK last 16 December 2024.

CB Strike Season 6 streaming in Australia on Friday, 24 January, only on BINGE and Foxtel. Check out the trailer of the latest sixth season here:

The British crime drama centres on Private Investigator Cormoran Strike, a war veteran who ventured into the world of sleuthing. With his unique insight and specialised background, he’s become an asset at the Special Investigation Branch. Working alongside his trusted partner Robin Ellacott, they solve complex cases and uncover the mystery behind every crime.

In Season 6, which sees the television adaptation of Rowling’s 2022 novel “The Ink Black Heart”, Strike attempts to start a romance with Robin, which she avoids. Hurt, he starts a relationship with his ex-fiancée’s acquaintance, Madeline.

Meanwhile, Strike and Robin are back in action after the co-creator of a hit cartoon show, Edie Ledwell (Mirren Mack), ends up murdered. Prior to her shocking death, she sought the help of Robin to uncover the identity of Anomie, a mysterious figure harassing her online.

All four episodes of CB Strike: The Ink Black Heart are directed by Sue Tully and written by Tom Edge. Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger play the lead protagonists Cormoran Blue Strike and Robin Venetia Ellacott.

In the sixth season, Jacob Abraham, Ewan Bailey, Kevin Bishop, Ellise Chappell, Jack Donoghue, Emma Fielding, Mirren Mack, Christian McKay, James Nelson-Joyce, Luke Norris, and David Westhead also star.
