Another day, another 24 hours wishing and waiting for our nerves to be destroyed with a new series of Line Of Duty, one of the best British cop dramas to ever do it.
Since the last series wrapped in 2021, viewers have been eagerly awaiting news of a seventh season, but so far there hasn’t been any solid confirmation either way from the cast or creator, Jed Mercurio.

Now, Vicky McClure – who played main character Kate Fleming in the show – has spoken about where she’s at in terms of Line Of Duty’s future, teasing a potential reunion with her co-stars, though not in the way viewers might expect.
In a new interview with the Radio Times, Vicky said she didn’t have any updates regarding the return (or not) of the show, but added: “I don’t want to give anyone any false hope. We’ve all been very clear that we’d absolutely love to do another series.”

Line Of Duty also starred Adrian Dunbar and Martin Compston as Ted Hastings and Steve Arnott respectively, who together with Kate formed the anti-corruption unit AC-12, given the unpopular job of ‘policing the police’ to weed out corrupt officers.
And while Vicky might not have delivered the news fans were hoping for, she did tease a potential collaboration with her co-stars that sounds more Place In The Sun than police procedural.
“Adrian, Martin and I have been talking about doing a travel show together,” she said. “If any of us ever has any spare time, we’ll do it. Line of Duty gave us two brilliant things – our careers and our friendship.”

Vicky, Martin and Adrian would join a long list of celebrities who have taken to documenting their travels for TV, with everyone from Jack Whitehall to Gordon Ramsay appearing on our screens in the growing format.
In fact, Martin himself has already starred in his own travel show, with his BBC Fling miniseries taking him to Scotland and Norway, meaning he’d be well-prepared to lead the charge in a Line Of Duty travel reunion.
