Line Of Duty Season 6: Show-Runner & Star Discussing Production Status, Release in 2022!

When we all were waiting for Line Of Duty Season 6 to join all the missing pieces, this pandemic hit the world. And unfortunately, the filming for the upcoming season went on hold. We know Kate and Steve are on the verge of cracking the puzzle to discover who “H” is. It seems H has more time to breathe freely, until season 6 arrives. And the showrunner doesn’t want to disturb him until everything cleared up.

Recently, Jed Mercurio said he’s not thinking to resume filming until everything sorted. Further, Rochendra Sandall revealed that the upcoming season would take two more years to land on BBC. Now, that’s something which we didn’t expect. But, let’s wait, that’s what we can do now.

Line Of Duty, created by Jed Mercurio, is a British police drama series on BBC. It follows a lawful firearms officer D.S. Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), who reassigned to Anti-Corruption Unit 12 after denying to cover-up the illegal shooting by his team. There he’s assigned with a highly-commended undercover officer D.C. Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure), who has a robust investigative instinct. Soon she’s promptly promoted to D.S. and later to D.I.

They both worked under Senior Investigating Officers, Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), and uncover the corrupted police officers. Throughout the series, they investigate contrasting cases where they deal with various corrupted officers. And they finally discovered that all the corrupted officers are linked to a criminal group. Now, they are working to unsolved this mystery.

Line Of Duty Season 6: More Haitus!

Jed Mercurio Discussing About Resuming Filming

Many BBC’s shows such as Top Gear and EastEnders resumed filming from June. However, Line of Duty’s showrunner Jed wants to wait until everything cleared up. According to him, he wanted to return as soon as possible, but not at the cost of the cast and crew’s health. He said: “I want to get back as soon as we can, but that’s got to be when it’s safe.” In an interview, Martin assured that they would surely return with more drama and thrill. He continued: “We will be back again to get them finished, and I hope they’ll be back bigger and better and longer!”

As you all know, the current situation is changing, and somewhat it’s more dangerous than before. Howbeit, the government is trying to resume production by maintaining all the health protocols. But Jed disclosed when it could be possible for them to begin the production. He said: “To be honest with you, there’s a lot we can do within the industry. But until wider society has the public health infrastructure of test, trace, and isolate in place, it’s going to be very hard for anyone.”

Rochenda Sandall Teased They Won’t Return Until 2022

Rochenda, famous as Lisa McQueen, teased that there was a two-year gap between the fourth and the fifth seasons. So, it’s easy for fans to wait now also. She said: “There was a two-year break between series four and five- and I think it’s worth the wait! It just means that the fans have got to wait an extra year.” So, it’s pretty clear that Line Of Duty Season 6 would premiere somewhere later 2022.

Batwoman Season 2: Vanessa Morgan Might Join As Ryan Wilder, More New Faces, All The Lastest Details

DC Comics superhero TV show Batwoman is a current favorite series of DC fans. Batwoman Season 2 is soon to arrive with more action and drama. But, it seems that Ruby Rose won’t return in her titular role. The fate of the show remains a mystery. However, we have brought some latest information regarding the upcoming season, know below.

American superhero show ‘Batwoman’ is created by Caroline Dries. The show shares the continuity with other series of the Arrowverse. Batwoman premiered in the year 2019 and is primarily being filmed in Vancouver, Columbia. The story revolves around Kate Kane, who is overcoming the demons and past to become Gotham city’s new hope. She is the vigilante woman in the town. Kate is armed with a passion for social justice and soaring her mind. She is out on the street as a lesbian street fighter primed to snuff out the city’s criminal. But, the twist is that she must overcome her demons to be called as city’s hero. With Ruby Rose not being on the lead, there will be some changes in the show’s fate. Know the recent updates.

All those superhero lovers must have already watched the first season of the show. In Batwoman Season 1, we have seen Kate doing wonders. She has remained the hope for the casts as well as for fans. But, as per the news, she no longer will be cast in the upcoming season. Therefore, The CW aims to go a different route this season.

Who Will Replace Kate Kane In Batwoman Season 2?

Sophie could set the ground for kate, in case of her absence. Being the representative of LGBTQ and the Black community, Sophie would be a ground-breaking choice. She has already established her character’s roots and brings a sense of fluidity to the show. It would, therefore, make sense for her to become the Scarlet knight.

The Cinema spot reports that Riverdale star Vanessa Morgan is being eyed to star as Ryan Wilder. It seems that after Rose’s sudden departure will mark the entry of some new face. It has also been reported that Morgan will do the screen test for the role with other members of the Batwoman cast. She further says about being used as ‘sidekicks’ on Riverdale. There has been a pay gap between herself and her castmates. Indeed, there should be a decent pay for the proper role without any discrimination.

Creating A New Character Instead For another Kate Kane

Showrunner Caroline Dries discussed with Comicbook, the reason behind creating the character instead of replacing the role of Kate Kane. ‘It helps the audience a little bit too, that we’re not asking them not to address the elephant in the room,’ says Dries. Ryan Wilder will be nothing like Kate Kane. She is likable, messy goofy, and untamed. We are excited to see the new Batwoman playing her character on the screen.

Batwoman Season 2: Release Date

Batwoman Season 2 production work is yet to start. We can now expect the premiere to be around 2021. Don’t worry; we will be updating you with the DC news.
