New Line of Duty trailer hints we WILL find out H's identity in series finale
Series six comes to an end on Sunday
Last updated 19th May 2022
It's been on our TV screens since 2012 and despite last night's (Sunday 25th April) episode becoming the most-watched drama in 13 years, it looks like Jed Mercurio's Line of Duty could come to a tantalizing end next weekend.
Since Jed or the BBC haven't yet confirmed a seventh series, viewers are fearing the worst that Sunday night's series finale could be final time we see AC-12 in action trying to find corrupt coppers.
Although series six has been extended to seven episodes, viewers still have a LOT of unanswered questions, with many fearing bosses won't be able to fit everything into Sunday night's hour-long show.
And of course, as well as all of the questions and theories surrounding the Gail Vella murder case, viewers have been waiting years to discover the final member of 'H'.
As we already know, Dot Cottan, Derek Hilton and Gill Biggeloe have all been exposed as being part of the organisation by AC-12 in the past, but as outlined by Cottan in his dying declaration, there's a fourth member still to be unveiled.
If the brand new trailer for Sunday night's series finale is anything to go by, it looks like we may finally get some answers...
Captioning the trailer with: 'Every investigation has led to this…', Superintendent Ted Hastings can be heard saying: "All of these suspicious deaths were orchestrated by one officer in particular, H, the fourth man."
The dramatic trailer then shows Davidson in the back of a prison van with the bent prison officer who was responsible for burning DI Lindsay Denton's hands and breaking Sergeant Farida Jatri's wrist.
Repeatedly throughout the tense trailer, the letter H appears to be dramatised, leading fans to believe we will finally get answers! 👀

In other LOD news, viewers are convinced that Marcus Thurwell (James Nesbitt) is still alive, despite the Guardia Civil pronouncing both him and his wife dead after raiding his home in Spain.
