Overview
- The BBC formally confirmed the revival in November, with creator Jed Mercurio returning and the core cast set to reprise their roles.
- An official synopsis says AC-12 has been rebranded as the Inspectorate, with Steve Arnott and Kate Fleming turning to Ted Hastings for help on a sensitive case.
- The new storyline centers on DI Dominic Gough, a senior officer facing sexual misconduct allegations that may mask a broader conspiracy.
- Compston told ITV's Lorraine that filming will overlap with next year's World Cup, joking he will need time off or they should "kill me off."
- Production is planned in Belfast in spring 2026 with no premiere date or casting for Gough announced yet, and series 1–6 remain available on BBC iPlayer.
