Blue Lights

Produced in Belfast by Two Cities Television for BBC One, Blue Lights is a BAFTA-winning original police drama created by Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson (writers of The Salisbury Poisonings). The series tells the story of three rookie police officers working in contemporary Belfast, a city in which being a frontline response cop comes with a unique set of pressures and dangers.

Blue Lights launched to critical acclaim in March 2023 and three additional series have since been commissioned by the BBC. The drama placed fifth in The Guardian's best TV shows of 2025 list and tenth in the equivalent list compiled by The Times, which wrote that "some shows deliver diminishing returns as each series passes by, [but Blue Lights] seems to just get better and better".
