There's exciting news for fans of Line of Duty, as it looks like a seventh season may finally be on the horizon. One of the show's stars, Christina Chong, dropped a major hint that the cast is set to return later this year.
During an interview at the Hollywood Saturn Awards, the 41-year-old actress, who played DI Nicky Rogerson in the BBC drama, revealed that she has been asked about a potential seventh season. When asked about her character's return, Christina replied, "So I have been asked about a season. Is it seven? Yeah. Potentially, Nicola Rogerson will be back for season seven."
This comes after another cast member, Adrian Dunbar, who plays Supt Ted Hastings, shared last year that series creator Jed Mercurio was already working on the next season. "We haven't got a script on the desk yet," Adrian said, adding to the anticipation.
For Christina, being a part of Line of Duty has been a life-changing experience. "I didn't think it was going to be as big, but I still to this day get recognized from that. It lifted my profile to another level," she shared.
The show's loyal viewers were hooked for six seasons, with one episode even becoming the highest-rated series on BBC Two in 10 years. The finale of season six, which revealed the identity of the elusive 'H', was watched by a staggering 16.44 million people, making it one of the most-watched TV events during the Covid pandemic.
Since the season finale aired in 2021, fans have been eagerly waiting for any updates on a possible return. Thankfully, the actors have been dropping hints to keep the hope alive. Martin Compston, who played DS Steve Arnott, revealed that their group chat, previously named "Line of Duty 6", was changed to "Line of Duty 7" by Jed himself. "We have had such a good run with it and a bit of you does go 'Let's walk away on a high', but we all want to work together again because we are so close," Martin shared on his comedy podcast, Restless Natives.
Vicky McClure, who portrayed DC Kate Fleming, has also expressed her interest in returning for a potential reboot. "I speak to the lads all the time and we'd love to, we're all game. I think it's just a case of now - Martin, I think he's in about nine shows or something. He's busy [but] I'm sure we'll get there," Vicky shared.
According to reports, the core group of actors met with Jed in 2024 to discuss their schedules, with hopes of new episodes airing in 2026. The BBC has not confirmed any details regarding a potential seventh season.
