When Is Line Of Duty Season 7

So, When's Line of Duty Season 7, Then?

Alright, gather 'round, my fellow AC-12 enthusiasts. You've been binge-watching, you've been theorizing, and you've been waiting. So, let's spill the beans on when we can expect Line of Duty Season 7 to hit our screens. Grab a cuppa, let's dive in.

First Things First, What's the Hold-Up?

Well, mate, you know it's not as simple as just whipping up another series, is it? The gang's been busy. Jed Mercurio, our beloved showrunner, has been off making other telly magic happen. And our faves, Adrian Dunbar, Vicky McClure, and Martin Compston, they've been busy too, filming other projects. But fear not, they've all been dropping hints that they're ready to reunite.

Now, you might be thinking, "But what about the pandemic, though?" Yeah, that was a bit of a spanner in the works, wasn't it? Filming had to pause, and we all had to wait a bit longer. But, you know what they say, "Good things come to those who wait." Or something like that.

So, When's the Big Reveal?

Alright, here's where we get a bit more concrete. The BBC has officially announced that Line of Duty Season 7 will start filming in 2021. Now, I know what you're thinking, "2021's almost over, mate!" I hear ya, but remember, filming takes time, and we want our faves to be safe and sound while they're at it.

As for an air date, well, that's still under wraps. But, if we go by the usual Line of Duty pattern, we could be looking at a 2022 release. Fingers crossed, eh?

Any Clues About What's in Store?

Well, Mercurio's dropped a few hints. We might see more of the OCG, and there's a chance we could finally get some answers about 'H'. But, you know Line of Duty, nothing's ever straightforward. Expect the unexpected, and all that jazz.

Oh, and there's been whispers of a new character or two. But who knows? Maybe they'll be friend, maybe they'll be foe. Or maybe they'll just be another poor sod caught in AC-12's crosshairs.

So, Until Then, What's a Fan to Do?

Well, you could always rewatch the entire series. Again. I mean, who hasn't spent lockdown bingeing Line of Duty? And, you know, maybe pick up a few new theories along the way. Or, you could start a Line of Duty book club. Discuss the intricacies of 'Caddy' and 'Dot' over a nice cup of tea. The possibilities are endless.

But seriously, folks, it's going to be worth the wait. Line of Duty's not just a show, it's an event. And when it finally drops, we're all going to be there, popcorn at the ready, theories primed, and ready to dive back into the world of AC-12.

So, chin up, my fellow Line of Duty fans. Our time will come. Until then, keep your eyes peeled for any sneaky teasers, and remember, in the words of the great Ted Hastings, "You're a bent copper, Steve." Or was that just a dream?

Stay tuned, stay safe, and most importantly, stay suspicious.
