LINE of Duty star Adrian Dunbar has sent a stark warning to fans ahead of the series 6 premiere.
The Superintendent Hastings star described the opening episode of the new season as ‘shocking’ and believes the audience’s ‘heads will be wrecked’.
Adrian is set to appear on The Graham Norton show tonight alongside co-star Vicky McClure, 37, who portrays DI Kate Fleming.
The 62-year-old spoke about the highly-anticipated new series of the gripping cop drama, and shed some light on what viewers can expect without giving too much away.
Dunbar shared: “18 months have passed so the landscape has completely changed. We are starting from a place that the audience will probably find a bit shocking at first.
“Things and people have been moved around so the first episode is going to be one of those ‘head- wrecks’ for the audience.”
It has been almost nine years since the famed trio of AC-12, including DS Arnot star Martin Compston, graced our screens for the first time.
The show continued to grow with each passing season and a whopping 13 million people tuned in to watch the action unfold in series five, which aired in 2019.
Commenting on the number of fans the show has garnered, Adrian shared: “It was a slow burn. The first series was great, but we didn’t know we would get a second one.
“Then we got a second one and halfway through that suddenly the numbers built and since then it’s just taken off – it’s big and the anticipation is massive. It’s intense.”
Vicky, was scheduled to get married to Welsh director Jonny Owen but the coronavirus pandemic threw a spanner in the works.
McClure, who has been engaged since 2017, revealed on the chat show: “We didn’t get married, but we haven’t even booked it.
“I’d marry him tomorrow, but we’ve never got around to cementing the plan. We will probably end up at Gretna Green!”
Series 6 of Line of Duty begins March 21 on BBC One at 9pm.
