Filming for the highly anticipated seventh series of Line of Duty has begun in Belfast, featuring both returning and new cast members. This beloved BBC police drama last aired in 2021, leaving fans eager for more.
The new series will see AC-12 disbanded and rebranded as the Inspectorate of Police Standards. This shift marks a significant change for the characters, including fan favorites like Steve Arnott and Kate Fleming, played by Martin Compston and Vicky McClure, respectively.
Joining the cast this season is Robert Carlyle, who will portray Detective Constable Shaun Massie. Christina Chong will also make her debut as DI Nicky Rogerson. Fans are excited to see how these new dynamics will unfold on screen.
Jed Mercurio, the creator of Line of Duty, expressed his appreciation for the show’s loyal followers. “Everyone involved in Line of Duty feels enormous gratitude to the show’s fans,” he stated. He also humorously noted, “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.” This implies that viewers can expect some creative storylines ahead.
Where to watch:
- The new series will be available on BBC iPlayer.
- It will also air on BBC One next year.
- Previous seasons (1-6) are currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
As filming progresses at iconic locations around Belfast City Airport, local residents are buzzing with excitement. The production not only brings attention to their city but also provides jobs and boosts local businesses.
The next big reveal about the series is expected soon, as fans eagerly await teasers and trailers showcasing what’s in store for AC-12 and their fight against corruption.
