LINE OF DUTY: SEVENTH SERIES 'IN DEVELOPMENT' AS STARS MEET WITH JED MERCURIO

A seventh series of BBC monster hit drama Line Of Duty is reportedly in development, with The Sun newspaper reporting that the stars have met with creator Jed Mercurio with the aim of filming a new series.



A source told The Sun: "Jed is close with Vicky, Martin and Adrian and they often meet for dinner - this time it was different. A topic of conversation was how they could align their schedules in 2025 to ensure Line of Duty 7 happens. The ambition is filming could start next year, with it on screens by early 2026."



Meanwhile, ITV have commissioned a third series of Trigger Point starring Line Of Duty's Vicky McClure and produced by HTM Television in association with All3Media International after the second series averaged 8.1m viewers across the series.


Starring Vicky McClure in the lead role of bomb disposal operative or ‘expo’ Lana Washington, Trigger Point follows a team of bomb disposal officers (EXPOs) as they work to keep the capital safe from explosive devices and terrorist threats.



Alongside Vicky McClure, returning cast members for series three include Eric Shango (On The Edge), Nabil Elouahabi (Blue Lights, Unforgotten), Natalie Simpson (North Sea Connection) and Maanuv Thiara (DI Ray, Landscapers).


In this third series, explosives officer Lana Washington and her team are called to investigate a bomb threat that soon reveals itself to be the start of a sinister vendetta. Someone is targeting individuals, and demanding revenge. Working alongside the Police Counterterrorism Unit, the Bomb Disposal Squad race against time to find the bomber before they claim their next victim.



Trigger Point series 3 goes into production in London in 2025. The first and second series are available to watch on ITVX.
