Line of Duty star breaks silence on season 7 rumours
May 3, 2025
Line of Duty star Martin Compston has added fresh fuel to the fire amid rumours that the hit BBC crime drama will return for a seventh series.
Martin, 40, played DS Steve Arnott in all six series, starring alongside Vicky McClure, 40, and Adrian Dunbar, 66, as members of the controversial taskforce Anti-Corruption Unit 12.
The show came to an end in 2021 as Steve and the team finally uncovered the identity of elusive criminal ringleader ‘H.’
However, enough doors were left open that AC-12 could still return, and fans have been clamouring for a seventh season in the four years since.
And, according to reports, a six-part follow up is in the works, with Martin, Vicky and Adrian all tipped to reprise their roles.
Now Martin has weighed in, providing an update as to how work on the rumoured seventh season is progressing.
Speaking to The Sun, Martin revealed: ‘We’re always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot.’
However, he wasn’t able to say much more than that, continuing: ‘Everybody’s got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off.’
This comes after apparent confirmation that the trio were set to begin filming a new series of the show in January 2026, ahead of a release later that year.
A source told The Sun: ‘This is the news Line of Duty fans have been waiting for since the sixth season left them deflated when it aired back in 2021.
