Now,
he and the BBC have dropped another surprising twist: Kelly Macdonald joins the
cast of Line of Duty series six! Recently seen in BBC’s Giri/Haji,
Macdonald is one of the most criminally underrated actors around – turning up
in Trainspotting, No Country For Old Men, and Boardwalk Empire
– and the series is lucky to have her.
But
where she normally plays morally decent characters to root for, Mercurio has
different plans for her. She plays DCI Joanna Davidson, the senior investigating officer of an unsolved murder; and when her conduct becomes suspicious, AC-12 rides in to save the day. On Twitter, Mercurio remarked: ‘Everyone involved in #LineofDuty
is thrilled Kelly Macdonald is joining us for series 6, playing AC-12’s most
enigmatic adversary yet’.
No
further plot details have been revealed, which makes his claim of ‘enigmatic’
all the more intriguing. Could she be the final of four ‘H’s, as revealed in
the series five finale? Maybe’s Ted’s off the hook? In any case, we can’t wait
to see Macdonald in the interrogation room.
The series leads Vicky McClure, Martin
Compston and Adrian Dunbar are also set to return. Read our review of series five.
