Line of Duty: Will It Return? Dunbar Answers (But Not The One You Want)

The finale of "Line of Duty" left fans reeling, both from the shocking ending and the lingering question: will there be another season? While creator Jed Mercurio has hinted at possibilities, one key cast member, Adrian Dunbar, has provided a definitive – and perhaps disheartening – answer.

During an interview with The Sun, Dunbar, who plays Superintendent Ted Hastings, stated: "Jed has got to come up with a really good reason to bring it back." He added, "It's not going to be a case of 'We've got the money, we've got the actors, let's do another one!' It's got to be something really special and we're going to have to wait and see if that happens."

Dunbar's words offer a stark reminder that "Line of Duty" is not a series that will be revived simply for the sake of it. The bar for a return is set high, requiring a story that warrants the comeback and resonates with the audience as powerfully as previous seasons.

This sentiment echoes Mercurio's previous statements. While he hasn't ruled out a revival, he has emphasized the importance of a compelling story, stating, “There’s a sense of closure, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the end.”

Despite Dunbar's and Mercurio's cautious pronouncements, hope for a return remains. "Line of Duty" boasts a passionate fanbase eager for more. Additionally, the series' final episode, while delivering closure, also left several threads dangling, tantalizingly suggesting potential storylines for a future season.

Ultimately, the decision rests with Mercurio. He's demonstrated a knack for delivering captivating storylines and compelling characters. If he finds that spark of inspiration, a "Line of Duty" return might yet be on the horizon. But for now, fans must settle for the tantalising "wait and see."
