The ITV programme, based on author Val McDermid's A Darker Domain, will air in July after a two year wait.
Show regulars such as Sex Education star Chris Jenks, The Curse's Emer Kenny and acting legend James Cosmo will also be back for the latest cold case.
In the new instalment, Karen has been promoted to Detective Inspector and seemingly given the authority she has long been fighting for.
But just as she's getting into the swing of her powerful new role, she is assigned an infamous unsolved case that will put her under intense scrutiny; from her boss, from the media, and ultimately, from sinister forces that would rather the past stayed in the past.
The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other.
Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two year old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife.
The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again.
Now, a man's body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap.
As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets start to reveal themselves.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Clarkson will be back on screen for ITV after his hit quiz show landed another series.
The presenter and journalist, 65, has appeared in programmes such as Top Gear, The Grand Tour and Clarkson's Farm.
In 2018, Jeremy became the host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Love Island fans convinced Islander is LYING as he makes bizarre claim
Viewers will soon have new episodes to enjoy - as the beloved game show has been renewed for another series.
In addition, Millionaire will be returning to ITV and ITVX this autumn, with five new episodes.
Contestants take part hoping to win a life-changing £1 million jackpot.

Bridgerton star Simone Ashley: I feel ‘safe and comfortable' filming sex scenes
The Sex Education actor, who is about to release her debut album, described hit Netflix show Bridgerton as 'fantasy'. She told Harper's Bazaar: 'It's about, 'What if?' and how love conquers all. 'Bridgerton represents nudity with a sense of romance, and I felt very safe and comfortable in what I was choosing to show to the world.' The fourth season of the regency era drama series is due to be released next year, with Simone telling the magazine: ''That show just gets bigger and bigger. 'Everyone has gone off to do incredible things, but we come back and it's like time hasn't moved.' She also spoke of moving to Los Angeles by herself when she was just 18, adding: 'I was really scrappy. 'Since I was little, if I wanted something, I would do anything I could to get it. So, I took some modelling jobs to pay the bills and got into acting through that.' Ashley, who appears on the digital cover of the magazine, said her album was made following a recent break-up. She said: 'It's going to be somewhat confessional … and beautiful and messy. 'Good songs don't come from times when my life is regimented and predictable. 'They come when I am feeling vitality, and usually you either feel that way when your heart's broken, or you're euphoric. 'This work has been an amazing channel to put all those feelings into.'
