Line Of Duty's 'H' Hunt Reignites!

Line of Duty is gearing up for its seventh series, with creator Jed Mercurio reportedly determined to reignite the hunt for the elusive 'H'. This move comes after widespread fan disappointment with the series six finale in 2021, which unmasked Det Supt Ian Buckells as the mastermind behind the corruption.

Filming for the new series is anticipated to commence in spring. The upcoming storyline will reportedly intertwine the renewed search for 'H' with an investigation into a new character, Det Insp Dominic Gough. Gough, celebrated for his crime-fighting record, will face accusations of abusing his position as a sexual predator.

The decision to bring back the 'H' storyline is said to stem from significant viewer backlash to the previous ending. While a new villain is expected, their narrative will likely be linked to the overarching 'H' plot. The series will continue to follow the agents of AC-12, even after its disbandment and rebranding, with stars Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, and Adrian Dunbar reprising their roles.
