Line of Duty fans, rejoice! The beloved BBC show may be returning for a seventh series, according to star Adrian Dunbar. In a recent interview, Dunbar shared his hopes for the show’s future, but one crucial detail is still missing.
For those who may not be familiar, Line of Duty is a British police procedural drama that follows the work of AC-12, a fictional anti-corruption unit within the police force. The show has gained a massive following since its debut in 2012, with each season leaving viewers on the edge of their seats with its gripping storylines and plot twists.
After the success of the sixth season, which aired earlier this year, fans have been eagerly waiting for news about the show’s future. And now, Dunbar, who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings, has given us a glimmer of hope. In an interview with The Sun, he said, “I think there’s always potential for Line of Duty to come back. We’ll just have to see what happens.”
These words have sparked excitement among fans, who have been eagerly speculating about what the next season could bring. However, there is one crucial detail that is still missing – the confirmation of a seventh season by the BBC. While the show’s creator, Jed Mercurio, has previously stated that he has ideas for future seasons, there has been no official announcement from the network.
But despite this, Dunbar remains optimistic. He said, “I think the BBC is very, very keen to do a seventh series. We just have to wait and see.” And we couldn’t agree more. With the show’s consistently high ratings and critical acclaim, it would be a shame not to see it continue.
One of the reasons for the show’s success is its talented cast, including Dunbar, Vicky McClure, and Martin Compston. Their chemistry and brilliant performances have kept viewers hooked and invested in the characters’ journeys. And it seems like the actors are just as eager to return to their roles as the fans are to see them.
Dunbar also shared his thoughts on the show’s future storylines, saying, “I think there’s a lot of mileage in the show. There’s a lot of stuff that we haven’t explored yet.” This statement has only added to the excitement and anticipation for a potential seventh season.
But while we wait for the BBC to make an official announcement, let’s not forget the incredible success of the sixth season. It was the most-watched drama series of 2021, with an average of 12.8 million viewers per episode. This is a testament to the show’s ability to captivate and engage its audience, even after six seasons.
Moreover, Line of Duty has also received critical acclaim, with praise for its writing, acting, and attention to detail. The show has won multiple awards, including BAFTAs and National Television Awards, and has been praised by critics for its realistic portrayal of police work and corruption.
In a time where there is an abundance of crime dramas on television, Line of Duty stands out for its gripping storytelling and complex characters. It has become a cultural phenomenon, with fans eagerly discussing and dissecting each episode, trying to uncover the truth behind the show’s many mysteries.
So, while we may not have an official confirmation for a seventh season yet, the future looks bright for Line of Duty. With the support of the BBC and the show’s dedicated fanbase, we can only hope that we will see AC-12 back on our screens soon.
In the meantime, let’s continue to rewatch the previous seasons, theorize about what could happen next, and keep our fingers crossed for a seventh season. As Dunbar said, “We’ll just have to wait and see.” But one thing is for sure – the return of Line of Duty would be a welcome and highly anticipated event for fans all over the world.
