"Enthusiastic fan anticipates receiving Line of Duty scriptwriting, as speculation swirls about Adrian Dunbar's hint at the show's comeback"
Line of Duty Season 7 Hints and Rumours
There's a buzz surrounding the potential return of the hit British police drama, Line of Duty, with strong hints dropped by actor Adrian Dunbar, who plays Ted Hastings.
In a recent interview with The Times, Dunbar revealed that the cast has been in talks with the BBC and that scripts are being written by creator Jed Mercurio. He expressed his excitement about the possibility of a new series, suggesting that if filming were to begin, it could start as early as January 2026, given the cast's aligned schedules[1][2][3].
This news revived the rumours about the show's return, which had been circulating since the conclusion of season 6 in 2021. The final series was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, making the filming experience tough and miserable for the cast.
Martin Compston, who plays Steve Arnott, also expressed a desire for another season. He expressed disappointment about filming the final season during the pandemic and being unable to socialize. However, he suggested that there is scope for another season of the show, and he is keen on it having a more enjoyable filming experience[4].
The hint comes four years after the conclusion of season 6, leading many to give up hope for a return of the show. But the divisive conclusion of Season 6, which left many viewers unsatisfied due to its sensational needs not being met, seems to have done little to dampen the enthusiasm for a new series[5].
Adrian Dunbar defended the ending, stating it was a realistic ending. He also hinted that the new season could be airing as soon as next year, but it's important to note that no official confirmation has been made by the BBC regarding the continuation of the series[6].
The big reveal of H in Season 6 was Ian Buckells, played by another actor. The show follows a corruption-fighting trio, including Kate Fleming, Steve Arnott, and Ted Hastings, as they navigate the complex world of police corruption.
While we wait for the official word from the BBC, fans of Line of Duty can only speculate and hope for the return of their favourite anti-corruption unit.

If Line of Duty's return becomes a reality, viewers might welcome a blend of beauty in the engaging storyline, wellness in their daily dose of entertainment, and the comfort of being home while watching their favorite corrupt-fighting unit. On the other hand, having healthier filming conditions for the cast could possibly lead to more entertaining interactions and performances, much like relaxing after a movie or TV show in the comfort of one's home. Considering the buzz, one might even anticipate a shift in focus to other aspects of life, such as the tranquility that comes with promoting personal wellness and maintaining overall health.
