Actor Adrian Dunbar has teased that Line of Duty could take a new form if it does return. He suggested a seventh series could consist of “three or four episodes” or “two 90-minutes” specials and not the usual six episodes.
Speaking in an interview with The Times, the actor who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings in the BBC drama said the final decision on the storyline is “entirely down” to the show's creator Jed Mercurio. But added that he does have a reunion with his fellow Line of Duty co-stars on August 29.
The 64-year-old is set to sit down with Jed and fellow AC-12 stars Martin Compston (Our House) and Vicky McClure (Trigger Point) as they reunite for a curry on Monday. He suggested they “might hear something” about more episodes then.
