Fans rejoice as Line of Duty ‘confirms return’

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.
