Mark Bonnar is reprising his role as Mike Dryden for the seventh season of the popular BBC crime drama Line of Duty. He’ll be joining returning cast members Martin Compston, Vicky McClure, Adrian Dunbar, and Robert Carlyle when the new season airs next year.
I’m so excited for the new series! It’s not just Bonnar’s old second-in-command, Dryden, who’s returning – Owen Teale, Perry Fitzpatrick, and Christina Chong are all back as Chief Constable Osborne, DS Lomax, and DI Rogerson, which is fantastic news! I loved those characters and can’t wait to see what they get up to.
Joining the cast is Tom Weston-Jones, known for his role in Sanditon. He’ll be playing Detective Inspector Dominic Gough, the head of Tactical Operations Unit 7 (TO-7).
The BBC portrayed Weston-Jones as a charming and successful officer, known for dismantling several criminal organizations. However, they also suggested he has a hidden, more complex side.
Okay, so I just heard some news about Line of Duty season seven and it sounds intense! Apparently, AC-12 is gone – they’ve totally changed it and it’s now called the Inspectorate of Police Standards. They’re saying fighting corruption is harder than ever, and Steve, Kate, and Ted are taking on their trickiest case yet. I’m already on the edge of my seat!
