Martin Compston says there is 'definitely scope' for another Line of Duty series
The 37-year-old actor - who plays DI Steve Arnott on the BBC show - admitted he "thinks" there could be another series, but he and his co-stars are waiting to see if creator Jed Mercurio is up for it.
He said: "We think so. I mean, look, I'm delighted with the response, in terms of people are now really intrigued to see if there is another one, but there's nothing changed for us in terms of where we're at after we finish a series.
"We always take, like, a year between at least ... before we ... the dust settles and Jed figures out whether there's a story to tell.
"So I'm delighted that people are so excited and so desperate to find out but, as I say, this is what we've done after every series so we'll just wait and see what he thinks."
Martin admits it "wouldn't be nice to go out" on the last series because shooting took place amid the coronavirus pandemic, when the stars had to socially distance and they weren't able to go for nights out in between filming days.
Speaking on 'The Chris Moyles Show' on Radio X, he added: "Look, there's no way to ... it's not an excuse to kind of go and do a show just because you want a night out or whatever, but it's such a sociable show in terms of us, pals, and going out with crew and all that stuff.
"And we filmed the last one during COVID and all that, and it was a tough shoot and kind of miserable, because we were one of the first jobs back and it was literally on set, nowhere near anybody, and then back to your flat.
"We couldn't even mix with each other. So I think for us, it wouldn't be nice to go out that way, we'd like to do one more with everybody and have it ... but again that's no reason to go ..."
