Word on the street—or, you know, the internet—is that creator Jed Mercurio is playing his cards close to his chest. He’s hinted that the story isn’t over, but he’s also a master of keeping us in suspense. No official greenlight has been announced for a full seventh season. But here’s the kicker: Mercurio has talked about a potential spin-off or a new version of the show. Isn’t that just like him? Dangling a tiny bit of hope like a shiny badge.
Think about it: after the chaos of season six, with Ted Hastings retiring and the big H (the mysterious fourth person) still lurking, isn’t there a gaping hole in British TV crime drama? It feels like the end of a great book where you know there are more pages. The appetite is definitely there—fans are practically begging for more interviews under the bright lights.
