- Adrian Dunbar, who portrays Ted Hastings in Line of Duty, has stated that the crime drama is poised to return next year.
- Dunbar revealed he was frustrated by the previous series finale, which revealed the identity of 'H' as Detective Superintendent Ian Buckells.
- Despite attracting a record 12.8 million viewers, the finale was widely criticised by audiences as disappointing.
- Creator Jed Mercurio is currently writing new scripts, and Dunbar hopes the BBC will soon make an official announcement regarding the show's return.
- Reports suggest the main cast has cleared their schedules for filming next year, with new episodes potentially airing by autumn 2026.
