The BBC show, largely filmed in Belfast, has enjoyed massive ratings with the finale of the fifth series watched by 9.6m viewers, making it the most popular programme of 2019 so far, based on overnight figures.
Line of Duty follows the investigations of Superintendent Ted Hastings (Enniskillen-born actor Adrian Dunbar), DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) as they tackle police corruption.
Asked about the sixth series’ air date, Mercurio told RadioTimes.com: “I would hope it’s sometime in 2020. But that’s not something that we’re able to confirm.”
As for when production might begin, he said: “That’s something that we have at the planning stage, so we are working towards a date. We can’t confirm everything until things are in place.”
The previous three series of Line of Duty aired in March.
