With the seventh series of Line of Duty expected to hit our screens in Spring next year, excitement is through the roof as we welcome back AC-12 members Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), DI Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) and DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure).

And whilst fans count down the months for Jed Mercurio's final instalment, a brand new Line of Duty Live Experience has been announced for the UK!

What is the Live Experience?

Titled Line of Duty: Operation Echo, the new immersive experience allows groups of 2-8 to analyse physical evidence, track leads, and receive intel directly from familiar faces at AC-12, over a two to three- hour slot.

The official website states: 'The Line of Duty live experience hands the case over to you.

'Deep inside London’s streets, evidence of institutional corruption is hiding in plain sight; buried in the cafés, pubs, alleys, and landmarks you pass every day. Your squad will assist AC-12 by piecing the case together, one step at a time.

'Receive informant tips, wiretapped intel, and warnings from people you don’t know if you can trust, straight to your phones. Weigh it all up and take action. Your verdict is the only one that matters'.

The Live Experience will be made up of three steps; Assemble your unit, Follow the evidence and Present your case.
