Set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Blue Lights has quietly built up a loyal following of fans who have discovered this gritty and dramatic police series.
Over the first two series we followed new constable Grace Ellis who has had a career change moving from being a social worker into the much more frontline experience of being a first responder. Alongside her are a other new recruits including Thomas Foster and Annie Conlon, and more experienced hands who guide them and teach them the realities of being a police constable.
This week the show’s much anticipated third season arrives on SBS and having watched the first four episodes of the season we can confirm it’s a tense, nail biting, journey.
Last season the team had a win when they put some of the city’s major gangsters behind bars, but with a power vacuum in the drug trade, new faces just step in to take up the reins and the police find themselves being targeted.
Catch the first two season on SBS On Demand, and tune in for the third season on SBS On Demand from 9th October with new episodes added weekly and airing Thursdays at 9.30pm on SBS. A fourth season has already been commissioned for 2026.
