Line Of Duty star Marin Compston has dashed fans' hopes of an imminent seventh series as he revealed a major update on the future of the BBC crime drama.
The Scottish actor, 39, played Detective Inspector Steve Arnott in the hit show written by Jed Mercurio, alongside Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar.
But speaking to The Mirror on Thursday, Martin revealed that there are 'no immediate plans' for another series of the beloved show - which aired its last episode in 2021.
Apologising for the lack of concrete information regarding the series, Martin hinted at scheduling issues being a factor in the lack of a new installment.
'They're some of my closest friends, we all love Jed, and we'd all love to work together at some point but there are no immediate plans,' he said.

'It's just getting us all together and stuff. We'd like to but yeah, these things are a bit complicated.'
In September, Martin gave fans slight hope when he revealed that writer Jed had changed the WhatsApp group chat name from Line Of Duty 6 to Line Of Duty 7.
Martin explained how Jed has cheekily changed the name of the chat, however he hadn't yet said anything else.
The television writer was on strike at the time in support of the Writers Guild of America as it entered its 19th week of industrial action.
Sharing an update on his podcast Restless Natives, Martin explained: 'We have got a WhatsApp group that was 'Line of Duty 6' and a while ago Jed changed the name of it to 'Line of Duty 7'.
He continued: 'What I love about it is we have never spoken about it since.
'We have had such a good run with it and a bit of you does go "Let's walk away on a high" but we all want to work together again because we are so close.
'We wouldn't do it just for the sake of it. It would have to add to the series, it would have to make the series better.'

A source told The Sun: 'There was a very strong feeling, particularly among fans, that there was unfinished business with Line Of Duty.
'Viewers weren’t satisfied with the ending of series six and were crying out for a more sensational conclusion — now Jed can deliver that.
'The fact that they’re looking at taking the unusual step of making three episodes rather than the usual six or seven is a reflection of just how special this is for the show.'
In August, Martin, Adrian, and Jed reunited to celebrate Vicky's wedding.
And Vicky certainly let her hair down during the reception as she partied with her Line of Duty co-stars after secretly tying the knot with fiancé Jonny Owen.
The actress, 40, had earlier walked down the aisle with her film director beau, 54, in a romantic ceremony in Nottingham, before later announcing the news on Jonny's daughter Katie Owen's BBC Wales show.

Vicky was certainly off duty during the evening's celebrations as she downed cans of Red Stripe Beer with her co-stars.
The group looked in great spirits as they happily posed for photos together, with Vicky clutching onto her drink for the snap.
Things then took a comical turn as Martin and Jed donned police hats alongside actor Craig Parkinson, who plays DI Matthew 'Dot' Cottan.
