The trailer comes as fans eagerly await the sixth season of the hit show, which has been on the air since September 2013.
The new season is expected to release in the first half of next year, however no further details have been given.
Scotland international Shankland left the Tangerines for Belgian club Beerschot in August in a £1million deal.
He enjoyed two goal-laden seasons at Tannadice, scoring 40 times in 74 games.
