Compston, who plays Detective Inspector Steve Arnott in the hit BBC crime drama, was asked about the prospect of a seventh series during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Friday. I think we’d all like to at some point, it’s just all getting us together.” He added: “I think probably the best thing is to wait for official confirmation from us, because it’s not fair on the fans either, people getting excited and not knowing what’s gonna happen.” Earlier this year, Compston’s co-star Adrian Dunbar was among those musing on the prospect of another series, suggesting that it could take the form of a film, or as few as two episodes. In October, Dunbar also suggested that fans could expect to hear news on the series’s renewal within “a few weeks or months”.
