Line Of Duty is reportedly returning for a three-part special following the underwhelming series six finale. Adrian Dunbar, Martin Compston and Vicky McClure have all signed up to resume their characters Chief Superintendent Ted Hastings, Steve Arnott and Kate Fleming, with show creator Jed Mercurio also back on the scene, as reported by The Sun.
The exciting new development comes after many fans were left disappointed by the last episode, which finally exposed Ian Buckells (Nigel Boyle) as the elusive H. The proposed instalments look set to uncover whether Buckells really is H and fans could get their answers as early as next Christmas.
A TV insider said: "There was a very strong feeling, particularly among fans, that there was unfinished business with Line of Duty. Viewers weren’t satisfied with the ending of series six and were crying out for a more sensational conclusion - now Jed can deliver that. The question is whether the person we were led to believe was H really is the villain that AC-12 has been hunting or if it was another nemesis."
