Line of Duty creator and cast hint at reappearances from old characters
Jed Mercurio teases Lindsay Denton comeback in Line of Duty season 6, but could Dot Cottan be returning too?
www.radiotimes.comHere’s what’s known about Line of Duty and its cast around recent developments.
Direct answer
- There is no widely confirmed “Line of Duty” Season 3 cast news beyond the official cast for that season, which aired in 2012-2013. If you’re looking for the most up-to-date information about any new seasons or revivals, I can look up current reporting.
Context and details
- Season 3 (2016? depending on region) confusion sometimes arises from UK airings and international releases. The early Line of Duty seasons feature a core AC-12 team (Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, Ted Hastings) with rotating guest officers and antagonists. For Season 3 specifically, Daniel Waldron joined as a new officer being investigated, alongside returning cast like Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, and Adrian Dunbar.[1][2]
- In later years, there has been substantial press around a potential seventh series and the main trio (Dunbar, Compston, McClure) returning for future installments, with official BBC confirmations around 2025-2026 indicating continued or revived seasons, though exact cast lineups for any new seasons can vary by episode and arc.[2][4][8]
What I can do next
- If you want, I can search for the latest announcements from BBC, major entertainment outlets, or official statements about Line of Duty Season 7 or any other upcoming installments, and provide a concise, dated summary with cast lists as announced.
- I can also summarize the cast across all seasons to date and highlight which actors have appeared in multiple seasons, if that would help your understanding.
