Richard Dormer, best known for being in Game of Thrones, who played big bad Gerry Cliff in the BAFTA and RTS award-winning Blue Lights, is returning to the fourth series of the Belfast police drama. The six-episode season will also see the return of Hannah McClean (Malpractice) as solicitor, Jen Robinson and Jonathan Harden (The Rainmaker, Time) as disgraced former Inspector, Jonty, in an episode that will answer important questions from the past. Our own Rich Johnston calls it the best cop show on TV right now, one that goes to new places.
Three years into their jobs as response officers, Constables Grace Ellis, Tommy Foster, and Annie Conlon are operating at their limit, facing a new threat on the streets that the police can barely control. 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. 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.
Stephen Wright of Two Cities Television and Louise Gallagher of Gallagher Films said, "We are delighted to get the cast and crew back together for series four and welcome some new faces to the Blue Lights team. The appreciation for the show means so much to everyone involved and illustrates the power of fantastic teamwork."
Nick Lambon, BBC Drama Commissioning Editor for the UK and Northern Ireland, added, "Blue Lights has gripped and entertained millions of viewers across three series, and Declan and Adam's scripts will once again have us all on the edge of our seats. Gerry Cliff was such an integral part of series one, so to have Richard Dormer back alongside our talented cast is a dream come true. We are over the moon to be back filming in Belfast, and with so many twists and turns in store, fans of Blue Lights have plenty to look forward to."
