Anti-corruption work has never been more difficult and in this challenging climate Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming, and Ted Hastings are assigned their most sensitive case so far.
On Wednesday, filming took place at East Belfast Yacht Club, beside George Best Belfast City Airport. Actress Christina Chong who plays DI Nicky Rogerson was among those spotted filming scenes at the site.
Last month, show creator Jed Mercurio offered a first look glimpse as he took to Instagram and shared a photo of actor Robert Carlyle, who is set to join the cast and take on the role as Detective Constable Shaun Massie, a Specialist Rifle Officer (SRO) operating with the Tactical Operations Unit 7 (TO-7) to take down organised crime groups.
A gruff loner, Massie keeps himself to himself, but when his boss, TO-7’s commanding officer DI Dominic Gough, is accused of being a sexual predator, Massie’s otherwise detached demeanour changes drastically.
Speaking about series 7, Jed said: “Everyone involved in Line of Duty feels enormous gratitude to the show’s fans.
“We’re privileged to have had so many of you follow the ups and downs of AC-12 over six previous seasons, and we couldn’t be more delighted to be returning for a seventh. Corruption in this country is supposed to have come to an end while Line of Duty was off air, so I’ve been forced to use my imagination.”
Series 1-6 of Line of Duty are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer. Line of Duty series seven is coming to BBC iPlayer and BBC One next year.
