The first photo is out for the seventh series of The BBC’s wildly popular BBC crime drama “Line of Duty,” the show retuning after a six year gap between seasons.
The shot offers the AC-12 team back in action – Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and Ted Hastings’ (Adrian Dunbar). The trio are joined by Robert Carlyle, Laura Aikman, and Tom Weston-Jones this season.
In the seventh series, the iconic AC-12 division has been disbanded and rebranded the Inspectorate of Police Standards. Anticorruption work has never been more difficult.
In the challenging climate, the trip are assigned their most sensitive case so far. Detective Inspector Dominic Gough (Weston-Jones), a charismatic officer winning plaudits for a string of takedowns of organized crime, is accused of abusing his position of trust to act as a sexual predator.
But is Gough’s case a deliberate distraction from a bigger threat still operating in the shadows?
The six-episode run wrapped filming in Belfast earlier this year and is set to hit BBC One and the iPlayer in 2027.
Mother of God… Here’s your first look at Line of Duty series 7, coming next year!
