BBC Announces Further Casting Ahead of Line of Duty Return
Series seven focuses on a new sensitive sexual abuse case amid anticorruption challenges, with series six having averaged 16 million viewers per episode, BBC said.
- On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the BBC confirmed the cast and plot for Series 7 of Line of Duty, with filming beginning soon in Northern Ireland before the 2027 release.
- AC-12 has been disbanded and rebranded as the Inspectorate of Police Standards, forcing Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, and Ted Hastings to face their most sensitive case amid a challenging climate.
- Tom Weston-Jones joins as Detective Inspector Dominic Gough, leader of Tactical Operations Unit , who faces accusations of abusing his position of trust to act as a sexual predator.
- Show creator Jed Mercurio, who will direct episodes 4-6, said he is "honoured to be working with our brilliant new cast members," with specialist rifle officer Shaun Massie returning via Robert Carlyle.
- The investigation into Gough raises a central question: "But is Gough's case a deliberate distraction from a bigger threat still operating in the shadows?" complicating the anticorruption unit's mission.
