Martin Compston has been a member of the Line of Duty cast since it first appeared on screens in 2012 and has offered insight into the possibility of new episodes
Fans of Line of Duty rejoice – early signs are in place that a brand new season of the hit BBC cop show could be on the way after a two year absence.
The police procedural series, created by Jed Mercurio, last appeared on screens in May 2021 with Adrian Dunbar’s Superintendent Ted Hastings and his team uncovering the identity of the âFourth Man’ and derailing corruption from within the force. While the season seemed to wrap up most of the major storylines, some loose ends remained, giving fans hope that a seventh season could some day materialise.
Now it seems prayers for new episodes could soon be answered as one of the members of the cast has claimed a WhatsApp group about the show has been updated to hint a new season could happen at a future point.
Actor Martin Compston has played DI Steve Arnott since the first season aired back in 2012. And the 39-year-old star says that the cast are in a WhatsApp group along with 56-year-old writer Jed. And he has suggested Jed updated the title of the group to indicate a seventh season could be in store – but adds that no one has actually asked the show boss about it.
