Adrian previously hinted at a return when he admitted that interest from fans is still at an all time high with him and his co-stars.
He told the BBC: Yeah, I mean, it was Vicky [McClure] who text me yesterday saying 'I'm about to do loads of press for Trigger Point but I know the only thing I'll be asked is are we about to do Line of Duty again?
"And the answer to that is we don't know, we'd love to, because the last time we did it, it was in lockdown. And so we kind of couldn't get out, we couldn't have fun.
"So we were kind of robbed of the experience of working together again. And so we'd really like to do it again. But you know, at the moment, we don't know."
