Adrian Dunbar teases there may well be a revival
When its explosive sixth and final series aired in 2021, social media was alight with commentary on and theories about Line of Duty. The action was religiously followed by superfans and casual watchers alike, all gripped by the intra-police scandals and investigations.

When asked about the prospect of a revival on Times Radio, he said it ‘looks like’ it could really happen. ‘All the signals and everything is [positive], but until the script hits the desk, you can’t be 100 percent sure,’ Dunbar said. ‘We’re all hoping that someone somewhere will make an announcement and say, “Yes, it’s happening”. And we can all take it from there. I can tell you one thing … the day they announce it, it’s going to burn up the internet.’
And that’s not all: last week, Dunbar reportedly met up with co-stars McClure and Compston along with series creator and writer Jed Mercurio for a Line of Duty ‘summit’ to coordinate their schedules – and lock in some filming time…
Release Date
If all goes to plan, Line of Duty season 7 could air in 2027. Patience is a virtue, after all…
