After that point, it has proven to be extremely popular among viewers, climbing into the top ten series on the UK chart and now holding the ninth position (according to FlixPatrol).

The actor who portrays Steve Arnott mentioned that there’s a lot of discussion about different scenarios and timelines. Currently, everyone has their own commitments, which means that any potential plans are likely quite far in the future.

Instead, if we reunite, it will be because Jed believes there’s a compelling narrative to share.

Line of Duty seasons 1-6 are streaming on Netflix.
