Since the news of season 7 actually being a-go was confirmed back in November last year, fans have been waiting patiently for a release date. We've known the series would land some time in 2027, with many expecting a March slot in our watchlists – but the exact release date has remained a mystery.
As reported by The Sun, the schedule move signals a "vote of confidence" in Jed Mercurio's returning crime drama. However, the BBC had no further comment or guidance to provide when approached by Radio Times.
The synopsis continues: "Anticorruption work has never been more difficult and in this challenging climate Steve Arnott (Martin Compston), Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar) are assigned their most sensitive case so far.
Trainspotting and The Full Monty star Robert Carlyle has been announced as the season's guest lead, playing DC Shaun Massie. He follows in the footsteps of guest stars like Thandiwe Newton, Stephen Graham, Keeley Hawes, Lennie James, Kelly Macdonald and Anna Maxwell Martin.
