  • The BBC detective drama Line of Duty is confirmed to return for its seventh series next year, featuring the main cast of Vicky McClure, Martin Compston, and Adrian Dunbar.
  • Mark Bonnar will reprise his role as ex-Deputy Chief Constable Mike Dryden from series two, alongside other returning actors including Owen Teale, Perry Fitzpatrick, and Christina Chong.
  • New additions to the cast include Tom Weston-Jones as Detective Inspector Dominic Gough, who is accused of abusing his position, and Robert Carlyle as Detective Constable Shaun Massie.
  • The plot will see AC-12 investigating another 'dodgy cop', with hints that DI Gough's case could be a deliberate distraction from a more significant threat.
  • Creator and writer Jed Mercurio expressed his honour in working with the brilliant new cast members and anticipated audience excitement for the return of familiar faces.
