Fans are still recovering from the fourth season of Line of Duty, and things are about to turn really interesting with the upcoming fifth season. The finale of Line of Duty Season 4 was jaw-dropping, and many things were revealed like the Balaclava Man’s identity and Roz Huntley’s ill deeds. However, there are new questions which now need to be clarified, and that’s what increases the hype for the upcoming season to a great extent. BBC renewed its police procedural T.V. series last year and here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Line of Duty Season 5.
It was already revealed by BBC’s Director-General, Tony Hall that along with Season 5 Line of Duty will get a sixth season as well so the franchise isn’t going anywhere yet, and fans can continue to enjoy the show for a longer time. He also said that the series could extend beyond season 6 given that Jed writes more. Also, apart from Jed, the public’s opinion will also decide the future of the show as their loyalty and love for the show will ensure its extension beyond Season 6 and more.

Updated on April 28, 2019:
Ted Hastings, who is played by Adrian Dunbar on the show has recently revealed a bit of information that has made the fans leap out of their seats anxiously. Fans are now suspicious that the superintendent is the corrupt police officer posing as villain H.
A number of clues have been thrown our way and Hastings could very well be the masked criminal who has been terrorising members of AC-12 on the show. This has rather huge implications.
If you take all of what we know into account, it can even be implies that Hastings worked with Corbett’s father, and the undercover officer blamed him for major death that occurred. It seems this season of the show is wild, and we’ll be constantly posed with many such mind-blowing aspects of the show.
