I’ll be on BBC Breakfast shortly to talk about Line of Duty S7.

Filming will begin in Belfast in Spring 2026.

Interesting to see whether they will add to the overarching plot, which had divided reviews, or if they will entirely start off from scratch.

Breaking: Line of Duty has been confirmed for a seventh series, BBC has said.

17 million people saw the series six finale in 2021. Steve, Ted Hastings (like the battle) and Kate are all reprising their roles.
