Line of Duty will return for an additional sixth series on top of the already confirmed fifth run, the BBC has confirmed.
Still, it seems fans have a long time to wait before new episodes air with Mercurio confirming series five won’t make it to BBC One until 2019.
Whereas if I know series five is not the last series then I have other ideas that are more standalone in terms of what the story is.”
Creator Jed Mercurio can now focus on getting the fifth series written having stated he was concerned to continue without knowing the show’s future was cemented.
