Line of Duty to Return for Seventh Series, BBC Confirms

The BBC confirmed filming of Line of Duty season 7 will start in spring 2026 in Belfast with returning leads tackling a sensitive anticorruption case after 17 million viewers watched season six.

  • Police drama Line of Duty is to return to the BBC for a seventh series, with Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClure and Martin Compston reprising their roles.
  • The new six-part series, written by creator Jed Mercurio, will begin filming in Belfast in the spring, following the disbanded AC-12 unit now rebranded as the Inspectorate of Police Standards.
  • Their case involves investigating Det Insp Dominic Gough, a charismatic officer accused of abusing his position as a sexual predator, possibly as a distraction from a bigger threat.
