You’ve been waiting for what feels like an eternity for its return, your anticipation has been growing, and there are burning questions that need answering from season 5.
Your wait is almost over.
Season 6 of Line Of Duty is heading back to your TV screens and promises to be one of the best seasons to date.
The BBC have been keeping their lips sealed on any important details in a bid to prevent any leaks from occurring before the season’s 1st episode is aired on the 21st March 2021.
One of the most burning questions people have been asking is where can they watch Line Of Duty if they are overseas in another country.
Due to regional restrictions on the BBC’s content, only UK residents will have access to Line Of Duty on the BBC iPlayer website and app. This doesn’t relieve overseas fans of your desire to watch the show and might even cause you to see spoilers.
However, this will not be you. I won’t let that happen as in this article, I’ll show you how to access Line Of Duty on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world.
To do so, you’ll need to use an app called a VPN. I recommend ExpressVPN but we will talk about them more in a moment. First, let me show you how to set yourself up with their service, so you’re primed and ready for season 6.
Step-by-step: How to view the show
Let’s get you set up with ExpressVPN. Follow these easy steps below and you’ll be watching the latest season in minutes.
- Visit the ExpressVPN website and click “Get ExpressVPN”, then proceed to choose a suitable VPN package and set up your account. Keep in mind that the longer-term packages are the most cost effective, my favourite is the 12-month package as it comes with 3 free months.
- Download the ExpressVPN app from the app store or their website and log in using your email and password or the supplied activation code.
- Click on ‘Selected Location‘ and select the United Kingdom. Then click the Connect button to join that location.
- After 10-15 seconds, your connection should be made and you’ll be able to visit the BBC iPlayer website or use the app to watch Line of Duty in your country.
Unlock Line of Duty in your country.
Search for Line Of Duty and enjoy watching AC-12 bring down corrupt members of the police.
Now you’ll no longer miss out on Line Of Duty if you’re overseas. So whether you’re an ex-pat living or travelling abroad or perhaps just a resident of another country, you’ll have unrestricted access to British Television.

How a VPN helps you watch anywhere
Originally developed as an internet security tool, it didn’t take long for users to realise that VPNs can be used to bypass regional restrictions and unblock overseas content that is normally inaccessible.
VPNs work by sending your internet traffic through another location (of your choosing) and back again. By doing so, you’ll be able to avoid any restrictions and view content from around the world in your country.
By doing so, you’ll have unrestricted access to overseas TV channels such as BBC iPlayer, ITV, Channel 4 & 5 (UK), and even many other channels from around the globe.
ExpressVPN is my personal favourite, they are fast, reliable, and have a great price point. They work with most of the popular streaming services around the world, so accessing restricted content will be easy.
However, it’s always nice to have a choice, so I would also like to throw NordVPN and CyberGhost VPN into the mix. You should check them out too.
At the end of the day, it’s your choice with what VPN service you choose, but the three I’ve mentioned are the best around.
Here’s a recap of your best options:
What is Line Of Duty about?
DS Steve Arnott is transferred to the British Police unit AC-12 (Anti Corruption Unit 12). He finds himself in a spot of bother when he refuses to cover up an unlawful shooting by a member of his squad.
He finds a close-knit group that he trusts and sets about putting an end to the corruption that seems deeply rooted throughout the police force.
I won’t go into any more detail as I don’t want to write any spoilers for those who are new to the series.
With 6 seasons (30 episodes) to binge watch using ExpressVPN, I’m sure you will love this show.
Who stars in Line Of Duty?
- Martin Compston – He is best known for his roles in How To Stop Being A Loser, Strippers And Werewolves, Victoria, Mary Queen Of Scots, Still Game, and The Nest.
- Vicky McClure – She has starred in A Room For Romeo Brass, Doctors, This Is England 86, Broadchurch, Hummingbird, The Secret Agent, and Alex Rider.
- Adrian Dunbar – This actor is known for Skybandits, Triggermen, Shooters, Eye Of The Dolphin, The Snowman, The Crying Game, and The Last Confession Of Alexander Pearce.
- Lennie James – He’s best known for his roles in The Walking Dead, Hung, Jericho, The Bill, Lost In Space, Snatch, Blade Runner 2049, Sahara, and Outlaw.
How to unlock the show on your TV, Roku, Apple TV, and more
If you have a SmartTV, Roku, Apple TV, or device that isn’t supported by ExpressVPN and their wide range of dedicated apps, you’ll need to explore other options.
Use one of the following two devices to watch on your physical TV.
Invizbox 2
This is a hardware version of a VPN, simply plug it in, connect to it, and your good to go. Invizbox is secure, offers great speeds, and very reliable.
StreamLocator
StreamLocator is another hardware device that you plug into your router and connect to. It unblocks restricted sites using DNS, which is slightly faster than a VPN but doesn’t provide you with the same security.
Take a look at StreamLocator here.
Either of these options will have you covered and able to watch Line Of Duty from anywhere.
Summary
To join AC-12 on their latest enquiries and to put some of last seasons burning questions to bed, you’ll need to have access to BBC iPlayer.
The problem is, BBC iPlayer imposes restrictions on its content so that only those living in the UK can access its content.
To avoid these restrictions, you need a VPN such as ExpressVPN.
Join ExpressVPN now and be ready to watch one of the most anticipated shows the BBC has ever produced.
