Speaking in a recent interview, the Line of Duty creator was asked whether he thinks the show could return, to which he responded: "Yes, definitely, this character could definitely come back for further investigations.
"We all really loved working together, and we've got incredible support from ITV for the ambition of the series," he continued. "We'd all be thrilled if we got the opportunity to do more."

Fans are certainly hoping that series two is in the works, and many have been taking to Twitter to praise the drama. One wrote: "I don't tend to watch these ITV week long police series, but I'm so glad I decided to watch #DIRay this week. @ParminderNagra was outstanding throughout. Hope there's more to come….. catch up with it if you missed it folks!"
Another agreed, writing: "There has to be a second series of #DIRay. Excellent first series," while a third said: "Brilliant series, hopefully S2 next year...#DIRay."
