With a line of duty season 7 about to come out, you should be sure to know everything there is to know. This line of duty blog post will give you the scoop on what’s new and what fans are saying. There’s also a line of duty quiz so that by the end, you’ll be an expert!
When will Line of Duty Season 7 release?
If “Line of Duty” Season 7 does return to our screens and it should! we might have to wait for a while. The show runs for six episodes in one season. But Season 6 had seven, which was very good because it allowed the writers to go through all the twists and turns of that story. The problem with Season 6 was the pandemic. It disrupted how seasons are usually made because it happened in-between seasons. This is why Season 6 came out later than planned.
But even if Season 7 has been greenlit by the BBC, it seems most likely to arrive in March 2023. Filming and making TV shows is better because the people are now used to working around COVID-19 guidelines. The cast’s other commitments will mean that the new season of the show will come out in 2023. For now, Martin Compston is appearing in “The Rig”. Vicky McClure is also coming back to “Alex Rider” for streaming.
What is the plot of Line of Duty Season 7?
Mother of God. “Line of Duty” is a show about police officers. Season 6 was intense, wasn’t it? It has been on the air for 10 years and this year it finally said who the Fourth Man was. Or did it? We’ll get to that later on, but the show’s meteoric rise really hit a crescendo this year, even being named the highest-rated UK TV drama in 13 years, according to Deadline. The ongoing pandemic made shooting Season 6 harder. But it was good that the show came back again.
However, all good things must come to an end. There has been some debate over whether Season 6 would be the last chapter for “Line of Duty,” thanks to the emotional Tweets from some of the cast when the episodes were airing while the story was trying to wrap up some of its long-running plot threads. It certainly left the door wide open for a return, because the OCG (Organized Crime Gang) still has a firm grip on the police force, thanks to the powerfully corrupt senior officers who sit high above AC-12.
Who will be starring in Line of Duty Season 7?
The BBC has not confirmed if “Line of Duty” Season 7 is in the works. But BBC Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore explained that she wants to have a discussion with the show’s creator about its future. “I think the show is really good. Jed Mercurio is a great writer and I want to say thank you to him and the people who helped make this show. I am looking forward to talking with my team about what they think the future of the series will be.

So, if the show does indeed make a return, it seems likely that the main trio of officers would return with Adrian Dubar, Martin Compston, and Vicky McClure reprising their respective roles as Ted Hastings, Steve Arnott, and Kate Fleming.
Because Anna Maxwell Martin joined the cast in Season 5 as the intimidating Detective Chief Superintendent Patricia Carmichael, it wouldn’t be surprising if she also made a return in Line of Duty Season 7 mainly because she took control of AC-12 after Hastings was pushed into retirement. We need to see how the department will change after that power shift.
