When asked by host Susanna Reid if there will be another season, he said: "Yes, we really hope so. Everybody's kind of gunning for it."
Ed Balls interjected, asking whether it would be another full series, to which the 64-year-old responded: "Well, we don't really know. It's entirely down to Jed and so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
"Within the next few weeks or couple of months, we might hear something."

Ed added: "The story isn't finished, is it?"

Adrian responded: "The story can continue, put it that way. In terms of the story finishing, I think was a really interesting ending, that's what reality is like. It's usually one guy. It's not a Mr. Big, it's just somebody along the line who decides to discard a piece of information and not make the call."
"So, in that respect, I think it was a very realistic ending but it didn't satisfy the sensational need in the public."
While it looks as though a full-blown series is not on the cards, fans may be seeing two extended episodes or a four-part series sometime in the future.

"There's a big appetite for more Line of Duty," Adrian told The Times earlier this year. "It could be three or four episodes, I don't think there's going to be six for some reason. It might be two 90 minutes.
"But it's all entirely down to Jed what the storyline is going to be. It's a big ask for him," he added.
In a separate interview with Radio Times magazine, he revealed that there's "something in Jed's laptop – a couple of templates as to how things could go" and that he's "hoping something might happen next year".
