OHMYGOSSIP — Filming has wrapped on Line of Duty’s sixth series.
The BBC have confirmed the latest instalment of Jed Mercurio’s hit crime thriller finished shooting in Northern Ireland yesterday (23.11.20) – after filming resumed in August following a coronavirus pandemic-enforced delay – ahead of a 2021 release.
Jed said: “Thanks so much to our brilliant cast and crew who applied rigorous Covid safety measures to deliver ‘Line of Duty 6’ to our wonderful fans.
“We’re all immensely grateful to World Productions and the BBC for the unswerving support they’ve given us in a time of unprecedented challenges to UK television production.”
Kelly Macdonald is the latest guest lead star to join the series.
She will play Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Davidson, the senior investigating officer on an unsolved murder case whose unconventional conduct attracts the attention of AC-12.
Simon Heath, executive producer for World Productions, added: “Huge praise has to go to Jed, Kelly, Vicky, Martin, Adrian and the brilliant ‘Line of Duty’ cast and crew who completed filming on series six yesterday, after five months of lockdown and three more of shooting under the most trying of circumstances.
“The audience is in for a treat next year.”
Last week, Jed told how the coronavirus pandemic has made it “tough” to film the upcoming sixth series.
He said: “It’s been pretty tough to be honest for you.
“I have to pay tribute to our brilliant cast and crew. We’re diligently wearing masks the whole time, we clean things that are passed from one person to another …
“[We had to change] scenes from interior locations to exterior locations, some of our location shoots were changed to in the studio.”
