Line of Duty was a big hit for the broadcaster when it aired between 2012 and 2021, and all six series will be available on Netflix from Friday, June 27.
UK viewers can, of course, still watch the show on BBC iPlayer, but this gives another option for where to watch it.
Created by Jed Mercurio, the programme followed an anti-corruption unit inside the fictional Central Police.
Martin Compston, Vicky McClure and Adrian Dunbar led the series as Steve Arnott, Kate Fleming and Ted Hastings, respectively.
A host of big names also appeared in supporting roles throughout the show, including Kelly Macdonald, Keeley Hawes, Craig Parkinson, Stephen Graham and Anna Maxwell Martin.
Will Line of Duty return for a new series in the future?
Ever since the sixth season of Line of Duty finished airing, there has been much speculation on a new season being made at some point.
There were rumours that a new season would begin filming in January 2026, but Martin Compston said anything like that is still a long way from happening.
He cited the busy schedules of the main actors as one reason why it would be difficult to pull off.
Compston told The Sun: "We're always talking about possibilities and schedules and whatnot. Everybody's got stuff going on at the minute, so I think anything, unfortunately, would be a way off."
He also told Radio Times magazine that "it'll be a sad day when people stop asking" whether a seventh season is coming, but said that "at the moment, there's nothing to share".
"When there's something to tell, you'll hear it first from us," he said. "We'll be delighted to share it!"
BBC viewers praise Line of Duty as "TV at its best"
Despite controversy over how its last season ended, Line of Duty still has a lot of love among viewers.
In a review on IMDb, one person shared: "I have to say it has been TV at it's very best, from the opening few minutes it had me glued eagerly anticipating each weeks new developments".
They added: "No spoilers here i only recommend you watch it for yourself to experience the shocks, the thrills and the suspense which it has in abundance".

Another said: "I consider this the UK answer to Breaking Bad. Excellent televsion entertainment from all angles: Amazing performances, writing, story, the works! Totally credible!"
A third posted: "Line of duty is an exceptional police drama. My parents first found it on BBC2 which I find unusual by the fact that it is hidden amongst a less popular channel.
"Furthermore, the acting is brilliant and you'll be on the edge of your seat at the end of every episode - it is indeed one of the best police series I have watched yet."
