As part of BBC Two's 50th birthday celebrations, it has been announced that its acclaimed police drama Line of Duty is to return for a further two seasons.

The series' writer, Jed Mercurio, said: "We're profoundly grateful to the fans who not only watched Line of Duty, but also made it such a talking point, and to BBC Two for this rare and immensely flattering opportunity."

Mercurio added: "For series three and four, I can promise two explosive new cases for [anti-corruption unit] AC-12, new guest stars as police officers investigated for corruption, further twists and turns from the loose ends of Series Two, and maybe even some surprise reappearances."
