The police thriller was forced to halt production earlier this year due to lockdown measures amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Mercurio has now posted a photo from the set, while the cast have also posted about returning to work.
“Thanks to our dedicated cast and crew for keeping the #LineofDuty filming CoViD safe,” he tweeted.
Series six will follow a brand-new case for the anti-corruption unit, AC-12. Show regulars Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure will all return, along with newcomers Shalom Brune-Franklin, Perry Fitzpatrick, Andi Osho and Prasanna Puwanaraiah.
“We know Line Of Duty fans are desperate for series six and we hope we can get it on air as soon as possible,” Mercurio said.
“Thanks so much for your patience in these difficult times.”
McClure, who plays DI Kate Fleming, said: “Been sitting on these incredible scripts for some time now, so I’m really looking forward to getting back to it and seeing the Line Of Duty family.”
Dunbar, who returns as Ted Hastings, added: “Even with the imposition of Covid restrictions I can’t hide my excitement at getting the team back together.
“So many people wondering…what happens next?”
The first five series of Line Of Duty are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
