What’s happening:
According to The Scottish Sun, the BBC is preparing to announce a seventh series of Line of Duty — nearly five years after the explosive finale of Series 6. Lead actors Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar, and Vicky McClure have reportedly aligned their schedules, fueling speculation that AC-12 is set for another case.
Why it matters:
Line of Duty remains one of the BBC’s most successful dramas of the last decade, regularly drawing millions of viewers and dominating the cultural conversation. A return would mark a major moment for British TV and a significant win for the BBC’s drama slate.
But:
The BBC hasn’t officially confirmed the news yet. At this stage, it’s still “insider buzz,” not a formal announcement.
What to watch for:
- An official BBC statement or teaser trailer
- Possible filming start dates or location leaks
- Confirmation of returning cast and creator Jed Mercurio’s involvement
Fan tip:
Keep an eye on the BBC’s social and press channels — that’s where any official tease will drop first.
