Line of Duty announces Celebrity Traitors star's surprise return as more cast revealed
The BBC detective drama will be back for series seven next year
www.independent.co.ukI don’t have real-time updates right now, but here’s what’s broadly known about Line of Duty season 3 cast and recent news around the series:
- Season 3 (UK, 2011) features Daniel Mays (Sgt. Danny Waldron), Martin Compston (DS Steve Arnott), Vicky McClure (DC Kate Fleming), Adrian Dunbar (Superintendent Ted Hastings), and Craig Parkinson (DI Matthew "Dot" Cottan) as the core lineup.[5]
- Keeley Hawes appears in Season 3 as Lindsay Denton, with other supporting cast including Polly Walker and Will Mellor, depending on episode arcs.[5]
- In later coverage, Line of Duty was renewed for subsequent seasons, with principal cast members like Vicky McClure, Martin Compston, and Adrian Dunbar reprising roles in the revival discussions for Season 7, indicating continued involvement of the core trio as the show expanded beyond Season 3.[1][2]
