But now, just as fans are gearing up for the show’s long-awaited return, it has been reported that a streaming giant could be in line to steal Line of Duty from the BBC. A TV insider told The Sun: ‘The Beeb currently hold the recommissioning rights to Line of Duty, yet ultimately it is the property of World Productions. Line of Duty is heading back to the BBC for a seventh series… but for how long? If Line of Duty is to be prised away by Netflix, it would certainly not be the first major BBC drama to find a new future on a streaming platform. All episodes of Line of Duty are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
