Line Of Duty Series 7: AC-12 is back for new hunt
16 Mar
Summary
- AC-12 trio reunites for first readthrough of series seven.
- Robert Carlyle joins as guest lead Detective Constable Shaun Massie.
- Series seven will feature a reformed AC-12 investigating a new case.
The beloved crime drama Line Of Duty is set to return with its seventh series, as the core cast recently participated in a first readthrough. Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, and Adrian Dunbar, reprising their roles as the AC-12 trio, were joined by newcomer Robert Carlyle, who is set to appear as guest lead Detective Constable Shaun Massie. Filming for the new installment is scheduled to commence this spring.
The upcoming series will present a transformed landscape for the anti-corruption unit. AC-12 has been disbanded and reorganized as the Inspectorate of Police Standards. In this new capacity, Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, and Ted Hastings will tackle their most challenging case yet, investigating DC Shaun Massie, a Specialist Rifle Officer. The official synopsis hints at a potential deliberate distraction, questioning if the case involving Massie's boss, DI Dominic Gough, is a ruse to conceal a larger threat.
Reports also suggest that the hunt for the elusive 'H,' a storyline that left fans dissatisfied after series six, will be revisited. This development aims to appease viewers who were underwhelmed by the previous season's conclusion. The new villain's narrative is expected to intertwine with the ongoing 'H' storyline, promising a dramatic return for the series.
