Line of Duty is returning to Netflix after licensing deal
The popular crime drama has been notably absent from the service for months.
Line of Duty has returned to Netflix UK after being removed from the service's library earlier this year, but there's one small catch.
Only the first four seasons will be available to stream when it returns to Netflix, meaning BBC iPlayer will remain the exclusive home of the most recent fifth season, which guest starred Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire).
Line of Duty was removed from Netflix in April amid the collapse of distribution company Kew Media, but a new deal to restore the series has now been reached.
