Dunbar Talks Line of Duty BBC Comeback: What We Know So Far
The news that Line of Duty would be returning for a one-off special has sent shockwaves through the TV world, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the return of AC-12 and their relentless pursuit of justice. And at the center of this highly anticipated comeback is Adrian Dunbar, the brooding and enigmatic Superintendent Ted Hastings.
In a recent interview, Dunbar has shed some light on the upcoming special, teasing what fans can expect and offering insights into the character's return.
A "Special Event" - But Not a Full Season
Dunbar emphasized that the special is just that - a special event. It's not a full season, and it's not a continuation of the original series' narrative. Instead, it's a stand-alone story that will offer a fresh perspective on the world of AC-12.
Hastings and the Ghosts of the Past
While the details of the plot are being kept under wraps, Dunbar hinted that the special will delve into Hastings' past, perhaps exploring the events that shaped him into the officer we know. He also mentioned that the special will touch upon the "legacy" of the show, which means we might see some familiar faces returning to the fold.
Will the "Bent Coppers" Return?
The real question on everyone's mind is whether the special will feature any of the original villains from the series. Will we see a return of corrupt DCI Jo Davidson or the infamous "bent coppers" of seasons past? While Dunbar remained tight-lipped on this, he did say that the special will feature "some new faces" and "a new case."
A "New Case" - But What Exactly?
The "new case" is likely to be the driving force of the special, offering an opportunity to revisit the themes of police corruption and the battle for justice that made Line of Duty so popular.
Anticipation Mounts
The news of the Line of Duty special has sparked a frenzy of anticipation. Fans are buzzing with excitement about the return of their favorite characters, the promise of a compelling new case, and the potential for some explosive twists and turns.
Stay Tuned
While the details of the special are still under wraps, one thing is for sure: the return of Adrian Dunbar as Superintendent Ted Hastings is a guaranteed draw for fans. The special promises to be a thrilling and satisfying reunion with the characters and themes that made Line of Duty a cultural phenomenon. Keep your eyes peeled for more news and updates as the release date draws closer!
