Line of Duty Season 7: Martin Compston Provides Update on Potential Return
The future of Line of Duty has been a topic of much speculation since the season 6 finale left viewers craving more. According to Martin Compston, who plays the lead role of DI Steve Arnott, a potential return for season 7 is not imminent. In an interview with The Sun, Compston revealed that due to the busy schedules of the cast and crew, a new season would be “a way off”.
Compston did mention that he had met up with series creator Jed Mercurio and co-stars Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure before Christmas, but admitted that it was just a social gathering. “We’re always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot,” he said. “Everybody’s got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off.” The actor emphasised that if a new season were to happen, it would be for the right reasons and not just for the sake of continuing the series.
According to Compston, the cast and crew are committed to maintaining the high quality of the show. “We really care about the quality of it,” he said. “So if we come back, it would be for the right reasons. It won’t just be: ‘Get another one done.’ It’ll be because Jed thinks there’s a story to tell.” This sentiment was echoed in a previous statement, where Compston mentioned that they “wouldn’t do it again just for the sake of it”.
Rumours have been circulating about the potential return of the series, with some cast members expressing their interest in reprising their roles. Christina Chong, who plays Nicola Rogerson, had previously hinted that she had been approached about her availability for season 7 filming. However, nothing has been officially confirmed by the show’s producers.
Compston has been keeping busy with other projects, including a recent role in Prime Video’s Fear and The Rig season 2, as well as a guest appearance in season 2 of ITV’s Red Eye. On the announcement of his new role, Compston said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Red Eye team. Hoping to build on the massive success of the first series and give viewers another thrilling ride.”
For now, fans of Line of Duty will have to wait and see if a new season will materialise. Previous seasons of the show are available to stream on BBC iPlayer. As reported by Radio Times, the appetite for more of the crime drama continues to grow, and fans will be eagerly awaiting any updates on a potential return.
