Blue Lights has dropped a first look at its upcoming fourth season. The Northern Ireland police drama is due to return later this year and recently dropped a teaser<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now a set of first-look stills have arrived, showcasing returning stars Si\u00e2n Brooke (Grace Ellis), Martin McCann (Stevie Neil), Katherine Devlin (Annie Conlon), and Nathan Braniff (Tommy Foster).<\/p>\n

Season four sees Grace, Tommy, and Annie three years into their jobs as response officers “operating at their limit” and “facing a new threat on the streets that the police can barely control”.<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, the murder trial of Gerry Cliff exposes a dangerous and long-buried secret that leads to chaos both inside the police, and across the criminal underworld,” the synopsis adds.<\/p>\n

“As they grapple with big decisions about their future, Grace, Tommy, and Annie must find the courage to face the greatest threat they have ever encountered: the truth.”<\/p>\n

Returning to the fold are season one’s Richard Dormer as Gerry, Hannah McClean as solicitor Jen Robinson, and Jonathan Harden as disgraced Inspector Jonty Johnson.<\/p>\n

Brooke, who can also be seen in The Undeclared War, recently spoke<\/a> about the fourth season in a new interview with Metro<\/a>. She said of her character’s future: “Whenever the time comes for Grace to hang up her police hat, I think it will always hold a dear place in my heart.”<\/p>\n

Opening up about her experience of the police profession \u2013 her father having been an officer \u2013 Brooke added: “It was part of the tapestry of my youth. His friends were in the force. The conversations I’d hear him have on the phone, them coming back to our house and having a drink after work.<\/p>\n

“These people spend such huge amounts of time confined in a car, watching the world go by, dealing with the oddest, extreme situations. You can’t help but form quite intense bonds with each other. That’s something I think the show prides itself in.”<\/p>\n

Blue Lights will return this autumn on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Seasons 1-3 are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n
