Adrian Dunbar says Line of Duty series seven could return for 'three or four episodes'

Adrian Dunbar thinks Line of Duty could be back for a seventh season and thinks he'll hear something about it very soon.

Dunbar has also weighed in on the possibility of a comeback for Line of Duty, and he's been suggesting it's going to happen in some form or another.

The star thinks 'we might hear something' on the possibility of the show making a return when he sits down for the meal with everyone, and he's got some ideas on what form it could take.

He said: "There’s a big appetite for more Line of Duty. It could be three or four episodes, I don’t think there’s going to be six for some reason.

"It might be two 90 minutes. But it’s all entirely down to Jed what the storyline is going to be. It's a big ask for him. It’s going to be really good. Maybe someone’s going to die.

"Someone’s going to be under threat. He doesn't mind killing characters off. Maybe he'll kill us all off. A terrible car crash when we're rushing to the scene of a crime? We’ll have to leave it to him."

We might know who 'H' is now but the way Line of Duty ended made it clear there will always be bent coppers for Ted Hastings and his team to weed out.

The last episode of Line of Duty attracted a whopping 15.4 million viewers so a possible return for Ted Hastings and the team would likely be of interest to a lot of people who want to see what happens next.

It ended up being the most watched British drama this century, and if Jed Mercurio thinks there's unfinished business then who are we to argue?

Then again, here's hoping he doesn't go through with Dunbar's suggestion of bringing them all back only to kill them all off.
