The BBC has unveiled a first glimpse at the eagerly awaited return of Line of Duty. The seventh series is set to broadcast next year, with filming having concluded in Belfast earlier this year. Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar return to their roles as Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming and Ted Hastings respectively, and the new six episodes see AC-12 disbanded and rebranded as the Inspectorate of Professional Standards.

Anti-corruption work has never been more challenging, and in this demanding environment, the trio are handed their most delicate case to date. As previously confirmed, BAFTA-winning actor Robert Carlyle is the guest lead for the forthcoming series, where he portrays Police Constable Shaun Massie - a Specialist Rifle Officer (SRO), a veteran marksman operating with Tactical Operations Unit 7 (TO-7) to dismantle Organised Crime Groups.

A gruff loner, Massie keeps to himself, but when his superior, TO-7's commanding officer DI Dominic Gough (Tom Weston-Jones), is accused of being a sexual predator, Massie's otherwise detached manner shifts dramatically.

Detective Inspector Gough is a charismatic officer who has earned praise for a series of takedowns of organised crime. Gough stands accused of exploiting his position of trust to act as a sexual predator but is his case a deliberate smokescreen for a greater threat still lurking in the shadows?

Gough's TO-7 squad also features Laura Aikman (This City Is Ours, Gavin and Stacey) as DC Paula Beckman, Levi Brown (This Town, Girl Taken) as DC Luke Tobin, and Amy Leigh Hickman (Ackley Bridge, You) as DC Nira Rashid.

Mark Bonnar (former Deputy Chief Constable Mike Dryden), Owen Teale (Chief Constable Philip Osborne), Perry Fitzpatrick (DS Chris Lomax) and Christina Chong (DI Nicky Rogerson) will all be returning to reprise their roles for series seven.

Additional new cast members include David Calder (Motherland, Rivals), Steven Elder (Prisoner, Toxic Town), Dominic Mafham (Vigil, Killing Eve), Aimee Powell…
