Line of Duty Renewed For Season 7 On BBC One

 The UK crime drama is returning after a 5 year absense. 

BBC One has renewed Line of Duty for Season 7, bringing the acclaimed thriller back to screens after a five-year hiatus. The new season will reunite Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, and Adrian Dunbar, with creator Jed Mercurio returning as writer.

In a statement, Mercurio acknowledged the show’s long-standing fanbase:

“We’re privileged to have had so many of you follow the ups and downs of AC-12 over six previous seasons and we couldn’t be more delighted to be returning for a seventh. Corruption in this country is supposed to have come to an end while Line of Duty was off air so I’ve been forced to use my imagination.”

BBC Drama Director Lindsay Salt added that the series’ strong audience response and high ratings continue to underscore its impact:

“I’m so pleased that after four long years Line of Duty will be back filming soon and can’t wait for BBC viewers to be back on the edge of their seats.”

Line of Duty originally follows DS Steve Arnott, who is transferred to the AC-12 anti-corruption unit after refusing to participate in a cover-up involving his own team. Working alongside DC Kate Fleming and Superintendent Ted Hastings, the trio investigates corruption within the police force, often at great personal risk.

Season 7 will pick up in a significantly changed landscape. With AC-12 disbanded and replaced by the Inspectorate of Police Standards, anticorruption investigations have become even more challenging. Arnott, Fleming, and Hastings are assigned to probe DI Dominic Gough, a rising officer celebrated for major organised-crime takedowns who is now accused of abusing his position to prey on vulnerable women. The case raises questions about whether Gough is the true threat, or if the allegations are masking a larger danger still operating in the shadows.

Production is scheduled to begin in Belfast in Spring 2026, with the Season 7 premiere slated for later that year.
