With AC-12 getting back to work on a brand new series of Line Of Duty, we’re about to be introduced to some new players.
To get you primed and ready for the BBC drama’s return on Sunday night, here’s a who’s who of the new characters, and where you might have seen the actors who play them before...

Corbett is a key figure in the deadly organised crime group known to have links with corrupt police officers, who are suspected to be under direct command of the shadowy figure known only as ‘H’.

Where have I seen Rochenda Sandall before? Rochenda’s role in Line Of Duty is her most high-profile one to date, but she previously had a pretty big role in Kay Mellor drama Love, Lies And Records, as well as supporting parts in ITV’s Girlfriends and BBC One’s Broken.
