It has been revealed that the TV Asahi drama series "Unsolved Woman: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Document Investigator," which aired in 2018 and 2020, will be broadcast for the first time in about six years. In this third season, the hot-blooded detective Yashiro Tomo, played by Haru, is transferred, and the intelligent detective Narumi Risa, played by Suzuki Kyoka, who has a fetish for letters, forms a new partnership with the elite career detective Mutsu Hinako, played by Kuroshima Yuina.
The drama is based on Kazufumi Asami's novel "Metropolitan Police Department Document Investigator" (Kadokawa Bunko), and is set in the 6th Division (Document Deciphering Section) of the Special Investigation Unit of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division, where unsolved cases are investigated using "letters" as a clue. This popular series was broadcast as a serial drama in 2018 and 2020, and a special drama was also broadcast in 2019. As with the previous series, Mika Omori will be in charge of the script and Naoki Tamura will be in charge of direction.
In this Season 3, Yashiro Tomo (Haru), who has been his partner since Season 1, is transferred. Furthermore, the 6th Section is still without a section chief, and is in danger of being abolished. Meanwhile, Hinako, an elite career employee who was feared as an "accounting demon" at her previous workplace, volunteers to become the section chief of the 6th Section after a certain incident.
The newly appointed section chief, Hinako, is the savior of Section 6, saving the department from the threat of abolition, but she is only 29 years old. Risa feels bewildered by her "younger boss," who is as old as her father. At the same time, Risa's smoldering heart is rekindled by Hinako's endless purity and awkward earnestness, which are rare among career officers. She sets out to solve various unsolved cases.
Kuroshima commented, "Because I'm a new character who appears in the middle of the series, at first I thought, 'I'm a little nervous...' But the tempo of the series was really good and the atmosphere on set seemed fun, so I felt positive and thought, 'I can't wait to get used to everyone and start acting soon.'"
Suzuki, with whom he will be co-starring for the first time in six years, said, "She is a woman who works really hard and spares no effort. I'm happy to be working with her again after so long. She now has a child, so in that sense I think I'll get to see a slightly different Kuroshima than before, and I can't wait."
"Unsolved Woman: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Document Investigator Season 3" will start in April and will be broadcast every Thursday from 9:00 p.m.
