Is ‘Line of Duty’ coming back with new special in 2023? Know details here

British drama series ‘Line of Duty’ is coming back with a three-part special on BBC One in 2023, as per reports. Adrian Dunbar, Martin Compston, and Vicky McClure, the show stars, have signed up for the upcoming episodes. The next session might air on Christmas 2023.

The show that has completed its six seasons was shrouded in uncertainty with fans inquiring about its arrival. BBC One also did not post any updates regarding the continuation of the show. But the storyline of season six had left ample space for the possibility of a new season.

There has been an outcry among the fans over the ending of season 6. The show’s stars earlier had given the indication of the new season. A source of a TV insider said that there was a very strong feeling, particularly among fans, that there was unfinished business with ‘Line of Duty’. Viewers were not satisfied with the ending of series six and were crying out for a more stunning conclusion.


The new episodes would hopefully answer the questions that remained unanswered at the end of season 6. The fans have been asking questions such as whether H is the person that the villain of the show AC-12 has been looking for or if it was some other person. Many fans hope that the decision to make three episodes rather than the usual six or seven, is an attempt to fix the storyline that remained unsettled in season 6.



The show’s stars also feel there is plenty of room for the new season. Dunbar, who has previously also talked about the possibility of the new season, spoke about the confirmation of the new season and the storyline of season six and new episodes. In an interview with ITV, Dunbar said that the story could continue. In terms of the story finishing, she says she thought it was an exciting ending. BBC has still not given details about the new season since the show’s cast remained mainly unchanged. The new season will pick up where season 6 left the story. The fans are speculating on many ideas on social media about the new storyline.
