“Line of Duty,” the British crime drama that has kept audiences on the edge of their seats with its intricate plots and unexpected twists, has become a cultural phenomenon. As fans eagerly await the next installment, Season 7, the anticipation surrounding the release date has reached a fever pitch.
Line of Duty has received almost overwhelming praise from critics and audiences alike over its years on the air, and the series presently boasts a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 6 was supposed to be the final season of the famous cop drama, but the dismal finale had many fans clamoring for Season 7.
The reaction to the conclusion was so negative that fans proposed a “fake ending” theory, in which the season 6 finale was a brilliant hoax to generate interest in the show’s future.
In this article, we’ll explore what is known so far about Line of Duty Season 7 and discuss the expectations surrounding its highly anticipated release.
When will Line of Duty Season 7 Be Released?
Season 7 of Line of Duty has yet to be confirmed, although it is plausible. According to sources, Line of Duty Season 7 will have a three-part finale.
Despite years of teasing, no one associated with the show has yet to confirm season 7. The buzz began almost immediately after the so-called finale, with cast members dropping hints and indications.
Martin Compston, who plays DS Steve Arnott, said in September 2023 that the crew and ensemble have a group chat moderated by show creator Jed Mercurio.

According to Metro, Compston said that the group chat’s name was inexplicably changed to “Line of Duty 7,” implying a seventh season. Unfortunately, no formal announcement has yet to match that enigmatic hint.
Who will Be in the Cast of Line of Duty Season 7?
According to The Sun, the show’s three major stars—Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClure, and Martin Compston—are all set to reprise their roles for a shorter final season, which will bring the drama to an “explosive climax.”
Here is the list of expected cast members in season 7:
- Vicky McClure as Kate Fleming
- Martin Compston as Steve Arnott
- Adrian Dunbar as Ted Hasting
What will Happen in Line of Duty Season 7?
There is no official Line of Duty season 7 storyline information available, but if the show continues, we will most certainly learn what happened to Ted Hastings, Kate Fleming, and Steve Arnott following the end of season 6.
We may have discovered the identity of the enigmatic H, but there is still more to discover about the three main protagonists. Kate appears to be returning to her former unit and will be working alongside Steve, and their relationship following the events of season 6 would be well worth seeing.
In the meantime, Hastings was compelled to retire. He declared his willingness to challenge the ruling, but he also made a disturbing revelation to Carmichael that must be addressed further.
Alternatively, a new slate might be used for further stories within Line of Duty’s established setting. When asked about the show’s future, Mercurio told Den of Geek, “It could be either of those [a full stop or a new start], or it could be something different.”

Interestingly, the show’s creator has already stated “finding new stories to tell within that universe” in an interview with Radio Times, so there’s a chance we’ll see whole new individuals and stories while still within the jurisdiction of the Central Police.
