The Belfast-set police drama Blue Lights is returning for a third series on BBC One, with the broadcaster releasing first-look photos from the new season, transmission date TBC.
The BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award-winning Blue Lights 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).

In season three, they are joined by Cathy Tyson (Boiling Point, Dune: Prophecy) as private members club owner Dana Morgan and Michael Smiley (Bad Sisters, Censor) as new intelligence officer Paul 'Colly' Collins.

Teeing up what's ahead in the new season from co-creators Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson, the BBC said: "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."

Blue Lights is made by the Belfast-based Two Cities Television and co-produced by another Belfast company, Gallagher Films, for the BBC with support from Northern Ireland Screen.

Seasons one and two of Blue Lights are available on the RTÉ Player.
