       BBC TV Show Renewed for Season 7 After 5 Years   
       ----------------------------------------------   
       The BBC has officially announced the renewal of its hit police   
       procedural drama Line of Duty, which will be returning for its   
       seventh season. The show went on a nearly five-year-long hiatus   
       after the sixth season concluded its seven-episode run in May   
       2021, where its finale garnered the attention of 17 million   
       viewers.   
      
       What do we know about BBC's Line of Duty Season 7?   
       "Line of Duty Season 7 starts with the iconic AC-12 division   
       being disbanded and rebranded the Inspectorate of Police   
       Standards. Anticorruption work has never been more difficult.   
       In the challenging climate, Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, and Ted   
       Hastings are assigned their most sensitive case so far," reads   
       the synopsis. "Detective Inspector Dominic Gough, a charismatic   
       officer winning plaudits for a string of takedowns of organized   
       crime, is accused of abusing his position of trust to act as a   
       sexual predator. But is Gough's case a deliberate distraction   
       from a bigger threat still operating in the shadows?"   
      
       It has also been confirmed that Martin Compston, Vicky McClure,   
       and Adrian Dunbar will be reprising their respective roles as   
       Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, and Ted Hastings. At the moment, the   
       BBC hasn't revealed the new cast members who will be joining the   
       leading trio. Production is expected to begin next Spring in   
       Belfast.   
      
       "As we count down the AC-12 days of Christmas, what a joy it is   
       to know that the Three Amigos will be back filming together next   
       year," Dunbar said in a statement. "Delighted with the news and   
       looking forward to those mercurial twists and turns."   
      
       Line of Duty is written and created by Jed Mercurio, who is also   
       executive producing alongside Simon Heath for World Productions   
       and BBC's Nick Lambon. Season 7 will be directed by Jennie   
       Darnell, with Ken Horn serving as a producer.   
      
       Mercurio added, "Everyone involved in Line of Duty feels enormous   
       gratitude to the show's fans. We're privileged to have had so   
       many of you follow the ups and downs of AC-12 over six previous   
       seasons, and we couldn't be more delighted to be returning for a   
       seventh. Corruption in this country is supposed to have come to   
       an end while Line of Duty was off air, so I've been forced to use   
       my imagination."
