Interesting to see whether they will add to the overarching plot, which had divided reviews, or if they will entirely start off from scratch.
The sixth series finale was a huge TV event, but divisive reviews.
βAC-12 has been disbanded and rebranded the Inspectorate of Police Standards. Anticorruption work has never been more difficult and in this challenging climate Steve, Kate and Ted are assigned their most sensitive case so far.β
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.

A BBC spokesperson said: βStranded on Honeymoon Island was a compelling reality dating format and whilst there are no current plans for a further series, we are grateful to Davina McCall for being our magnificent matchmaking host..."

It truly is so weird that any of this happened at all in 2025. It's like an alternative reality seeped into our own.
