Line of Duty actor Adrian Dunbar has spilled when a series seven confirmation or denial will likely happen.
The Ted Hastings actor teased it was likely the show would be back for another series, amid speculation previously that it had ended for good.
While creator Jed Mercurio and the BBC have yet to reveal the show's fate, amid fans begging for a comeback, actor Adrian has hinted it will likely return in some way.
Now, speaking to Ed Balls and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, Adrian has revealed how long it will be until series seven is likely confirmed or dismissed - and there isn't that long to wait.
He teased we could know in a matter of weeks or months if and when Line of Duty will return, and whether the cast will be back too.
As Susanna asked: "Will there be another season?" Adrian said: "Well yes, we really hope so.
"I mean everyone is kind of gunning for it, so yeah. I'm sure the public want it."
As Ed asked if it would be a full series and not a special one-off, he went on: "Well, we don't really know. It's entirely down to Jed.
"So we're keeping our fingers crossed. Within the next few weeks or couple of months we might hear something, so that will be good."
On the likelihood of hit coming back, he agreed there was room for the show to return given the series six ending and storylines.
He said: "The story can continue, put it that way. In terms of the story finishing I think it was a really interesting ending," adding that he believed the ending was "very realistic".
It comes months after Adrian's co-star Martin Compston sent fans into meltdown with a post on Instagram in June.
The 38-year-old Scottish actor enjoyed a cosy lunch with his co-stars Vicky McClure and Adrian, as well as Jed, and he couldn't resist capturing the moment on camera.
The trio are seen enjoying some food alfresco as well as sharing a bottle of wine, which could be seen in the middle of the table.
Martin simply captioned the post: "Talking tattoo designs," alongside a red heart emoji.
Many of Martin's followers felt this was a massive reference to the hit BBC series because the cast were said to have agreed to get matching tattoos following the huge success of series six after it reached over 12 million in viewer ratings.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV Hub.
