The BBC reveals some first look images for  Blue Lights series 3 and some updates

Blue Lights series 3 is on the way, and the BBC has released several images from this Belfast based police drama. There’s no date given, but we assume this 6×60′ will arrive later this year.

The show stars Siân Brooke (Grace), Martin McCann (Stevie), Katherine Devlin (Annie), Nathan Braniff (Tommy), Joanne Crawford (Helen), Andi Osho (Sandra), Frank Blake (Shane), Abigail McGibbon, (Tina) Dearbháile McKinney (Aisling) and Andrea Irvine (Nicola).

What is series 3 about?

Two years into their jobs as response officers Grace, Annie and Tommy are accustomed to life under the blue lights. But their work will take them into a sinister world hidden behind the veneer of middle-class life, the world of the accountants and lawyers who facilitate organised crime. The old political and criminal order has gone and a new global gang rule Belfast, bringing danger closer to home for our officers than ever before.

The cast are joined this year by Cathy Tyson (Boiling Point, Dune: Prophecy) who plays private members club owner, Dana Morgan and Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters, Censor) as new intelligence officer Paul ‘Colly’ Collins. As a measure of the show’s popularity, series two averaged 5.6M viewers across the series, while episode one’s 7M made it the BBC’s fourth biggest drama launch last year. In Northern Ireland, it was the biggest drama across the whole market (broadcasters and streamers) across 2023 and 2024.

We’ll be on the lookout for a trailer and bring it as soon as we find it. Until then previous series are available on iPlayer.
