Line of Duty’s Adrian Dunbar hints at series 7 announcement date as he admits ‘the public want it’

ADRIAN Dunbar has hinted that another season of Line of Duty might be getting official confirmation sooner rather than later.

The sixth series was the biggest for the BBC drama, with an ending that left AC-12 in a precarious position.

But news about a follow-up has been thin on the ground ever since.

However, the Ted Hastings actor expects it to be properly announced in the near future.

Adrian told the hosts of Good Morning Britain: "We really hope so. I mean everyone is kind of gunning for it, so yeah. I'm sure the public want it.

"So we're keeping our fingers crossed. Within the next few weeks or couple of months we might hear something, so that will be good."

The sixth series seemingly unmasked Ian Buckells as the true identity of the mysterious 'H', but Dunbar previously stated that the bumbling bent copper isn't the real one.

"He's not 'H'," he sensationally revealed to .

"We just got the guy we could actually pin a charge on. We didn't get 'H', we got Buckells, the patsy.

"There's a scene when we look at each other and think: 'Really? This twat?' He's a distraction.

"Chief Constable Osborne is probably where it's heading, unless there's another twist and someone's pulling his strings."

The finale saw Osborne continue to scrape anti-corruption funding away to the bone and installed Patricia Carmichael as the interfering head of the team.

Considering he hadn't been seen since the third series, his reintroduction seems to hint that there are big plans in store for him.

Line of Duty is available to stream on Netflix.
