"Making this with Jon [McClure] and Rev was such a chilled experience.
"All I hope is you enjoy it, sing and dance along."
Line of Duty fans have long wondered if the popular BBC show would be returning for a seventh series.
Leading men Martin Compston, who plays DI Steve Arnott and Adrian Dunbar, who plays Supt Ted, shared an update with fans, according to The Sun.
When asked if the show would be returning, Martin said: 'We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot.
"Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off."
"You know, the day people stop asking about the show will be a sad day, so I'm delighted that people are still excited about it.
"We'd all love to work together again at some point. We still all meet up.
"I met with Jed [Mercurio, the show's creator], Adrian [Dunbar] and Vicky [McClure] in London before Christmas - we went out for dinner, to hear what everyone's up to."
He added: 'It's amazing. It's the best feeling as an actor when you feel like the whole country's in the palm of your hand with what's coming next, and there's only a couple of you in the secret of who's surviving and what's going on.
"But because we're all so close and we all want the best for the show, we wouldn't do it again just for the sake of it.
"If it was just about doing it for the sake of it, we'd have probably done another three series by now.
"We really care about the quality of it. So if we come back, it would be for the right reasons.
"It won't just be: 'Get another one done.' It'll be because Jed thinks there's a story to tell."

She captioned the post with a series of emojis including a cocktail glass, coconut, stars and red love heart. The model and actress' yacht photoshoot comes after she posed completely naked for a racy bath snap before posing topless in a set of sizzling selfies. Brooklyn, a professional photographer, snapped his wife fully stretched out in a white tub with no bubble bath, the clear water giving a glimpse of her toned figure. She covered her modesty with her arm and leg, leaving her dark locks flowing into the water. Nicola went make-up free and accessorised with a single diamond bracelet. Brooklyn recently opened up to Glamour on his early plans to pop the question to Nicola, whom he married in Miami three years ago. In a rare joint interview and cover shoot with his wife, Brooklyn said: "I knew after three months that I wanted to marry her. "But because of COVID, I wanted to wait until our families could be there." Yet the chef and photographer failed to mention his parents David and Victoria by name, and claims he has now hired Prince Harry's lawyers to solve the bitter family dispute.

Hugely popular ITV crime thriller axed after just one season - despite bringing in glowing reviews and 4million viewers
A hit ITV crime thriller has been axed after just one season despite having brought in glowing reviews and four million viewers. Breakthrough drama Joan has been canned, much to the dismay of avid fans, reportedly because its starring actress Sophie Turner was too busy. It has been claimed that ITV's drama team spent months trying to find a gap in star Sophie Turner 's busy schedule to film the second series. However, after exhausting all avenues, the production crew had to admit defeat and axe the popular thriller. An ITV spokesperson told The Sun: 'ITV and Snowed-In Productions would love to produce another series of Joan. 'However, as a consequence of cast availability, and following co-production discussions, a second series isn't possible.' MailOnline has contacted ITV and Sophie's representatives for comment. The series follows the life of Joan Hannington - a real-life jewel thief who pocketed more than £3million of gems in London in the 1980s. In her ever-present fur coats and shimmering blue eyeshadow, the glamorous fraudster earned herself the moniker The Godmother among the city's criminal network. The first season aired last autumn and comprised only six episodes, but that was enough to get viewers hooked. The show left several loose ends to be tied, with the Joan determined to get revenge on her criminal counterpart Albie, who had betrayed her. Fiery Joan was also left with plans of a new and lucrative business empire after having spent a four-year stint in prison for armed robbery. Last year, director Richard Laxton said: 'There is definitely potential for the story to go on,' which only added to fans' despair. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow both attempted to resurrect Joan's thrilling story and bring it to screens in the early 2000s, but they weren't successful. Sophie is currently occupied with several time-consuming projects and is set to play video game heroine Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider TV series. She is also appearing in sci-fi movie Cloud One and will feature in horror film The Dreadful alongside her Game Of Thrones co-star Kit Harrington. Sophie also has two daughters from her marriage to American singer Joe Jonas, and is now in a relationship with aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. Joan's very first episode was branded 'incredible' by viewers when it first aired last year. During one scene, Sophie's character meets her future husband Boisie Hannington (Frank Dillane) in a pub, with the bartender played by the couple's actual son Benny Banks. Speaking ahead of the episode, Sophie said: 'It's amazing because in the scene that we meet first in the pub, the bartender was played by Joan's son Benny'. 'It was so cool to have that because it's the moment his parents meet and he got to be there and we got to hang out with him'. Viewers were full of praise for Sophie's performance as she played the young mum, who ventures into the criminal underworld in a bid to make a better life for her young daughter. In a press conference about the show, Sophie explained she had no problem turning on the waterworks, saying: 'I'm a Pisces, I'm emotional.' 'She is so funny but she has gone through so much trauma and is so ambitious,' Sophie added of her character. 'There really is so much to her – mother, lover, liar, thief. It's just remarkable that it's all a true story.' The drama follows Joan as she escapes her violent husband but has to place her daughter into care as she gets back on her feet. With no money and nowhere to live, she manages to secure a job in a jeweller's, from where she steals her first diamonds.

BBC drama leaves viewers 'destroyed' as they watch all 5 episodes at once
BBC's The Narrow Road to the Deep North has become a word-of-mouth hit with viewers, with many saying the war drama is 'terrifying and moving to the soul' A gripping new BBC drama is leaving viewers absolutely stunned, with countless fans confessing they've devoured all five episodes in one go. The Narrow Road to the Deep North, adapted from Richard Flanagan's Booker Prize-winning novel, has emerged as an unexpected sensation since landing on BBC iPlayer, with audiences hailing it as one of the most heart-wrenching and memorable programmes of the year. Featuring Saltburn's Jacob Elordi and Belfast's Ciarán Hinds portraying younger and older incarnations of Australian surgeon Dorrigo Evans, the programme sweeps across generations - from a forbidden romance before the conflict, through the harsh realities of Japanese captivity, to the enduring consequences of psychological wounds. The five-episode series hasn't merely won over critics - securing a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes - it's absolutely devastated audiences. One viewer commented on Google's review platform: "Watched all 5 episodes in one evening. Very good series. War and love. Great acting, lovely soundtrack and a glimpse into the pain and suffering of WW2 and letting go of the love of your life.", reports the Express. Another said: "An outstanding series. Not an easy watch, but well worth it." The emotional impact has been overwhelming, with numerous viewers revealing the series reduced them to tears. One admirer shared: "This series just destroyed me. I still cannot think about it without crying. Every moment, and every character, were compelling... A beautiful show. Highly recommend." Another added: "There was a lot of human connection in this series and a very horrific scene and some sadness. This movie was interesting throughout and was very well paced. It didn't lose my attention at any point." Narrated through flashbacks, the tale focuses on Dorrigo Evans, who becomes an unwilling war hero following his survival of unthinkable terrors in a Japanese labour camp in Burma. However, it's the romance he abandoned - a clandestine affair with his uncle's spouse, Amy - that torments him most profoundly. Odessa Young (Manodrome) portrays Amy, alongside Olivia DeJonge (Elvis) as Dorrigo's spouse Ella, and Simon Baker (The Mentalist) as his mate Keith. Elordi and Young have received acclaim for their on-screen rapport, whilst Hinds delivers emotional gravitas to the elder Dorrigo, still tormented by his past. Elordi disclosed to the BBC how physically demanding the shoot proved, particularly during the prisoner-of-war sequences: "We carried a real tree up the side of a cliff for I don't know how many hours. It was like being in a massive theatre production that was constantly playing." Hinds revealed the novel had captivated him instantly. "It was extraordinary. It was harrowing, heartbreaking, a kind of epic storytelling." Audiences have also commended the series for tackling the grimmer truths of warfare. One Google reviewer described it as "terrifying and moving to the soul," whilst numerous others lauded its cinematography, soundtrack, and emotional resonance. The Narrow Road to the Deep North is presently available to stream in its entirety on BBC iPlayer.
