#Is Vicky McClure leaving Line of Duty? Is Kate Fleming dead?

Is Vicky McClure leaving Line of Duty, and is her character of Kate Fleming dead and gone? If you have these questions after tonight, we get it! The BBC series left us all on an enormous cliffhanger, and it’s one we wish there was an immediate answer to right now.

As for why Jed Mercurio and the creative team decided to do this, it’s simple: Shock value. This is what this show does better than almost any other one out there, and we also don’t think it’s 100% a given that Kate makes it through this okay. Even though she is a longtime cast member, sometimes cops do get too close. Also, this is a world where people die — we have seen that time and time again.
