All six series of the hit BBC series Line of Duty are now available for streaming on Netflix.
The critically acclaimed crime thriller ran on BBC One between 2012 and 2021, captivating audiences with the investigations of anti-corruption unit AC-12.
Starring Vicky McClure, Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar as the elite police taskforce, their search for elusive ringleader ‘H’ picked up pace as the show entered its final series – leading viewers hooked by its many twists and surprises.
Line of Duty wrapped up with a ‘final’ series in 2021, but speculation remains rife that a seventh season is still on the cards.
Series creator Jed Mercurio and a number of its stars have added fuel to the fire in recent years, hinting that a seventh season may yet emerge.

Until then, fans and newcomers alike will be able to revisit all six series of a show some have dubbed ‘the best police procedural show in TV history.’
Across all six series of the show, Line of Duty currently boasts a 96% positive approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics.
This is backed up by its equally healthy audience score – 94%, according to the review aggregator.
Fans have frequently heaped praise on it as one of the greatest shows ever produced in the UK, with Rotten Tomatoes user Erik K describing it as ‘The best police procedural show in TV history!’
Meanwhile, user Chet T described it as ‘exceptionally well written,’ while Andi called it ‘the peak of any crime TV.’
Despite wrapping up in 2021, the series left enough stones unturned that the door remains open for a seventh series.
Speaking to The Sun this year, star Compston weighed in on rumours of a return, revealing: ‘We’re always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot.’
However, he quickly quashed viewers hopes, saying: ‘Everybody’s got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off.’
Pressed on an update on series 7, McClure told Metro.co.uk: ‘There is no news. That is the news, no news!’
In Line of Duty’s absence, viewers will be able to get their fix in the new upcoming political thriller from the show’s creator, Trinity.
Written and executive produced by Jed Mercurio, this Netflix series will star Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a nuclear submarine commander who becomes embroiled in an apparent conspiracy when she meets shady defence secretary Webb Preston.
With Webb being played by former Game of Thrones star Richard Madden, the series marks the reunion of Bodyguard creator Mercurio and star Madden.
The pair previously worked together on the BBC hit miniseries in 2018, which starred Madden as a protection officer for politician JuliaMontague (Keeley Hawes).
