The murder trial of Gerry Cliff is set to get underway
Blue Lights 4 is set to get underway and we are already excited for it to hit our screens.
After the news on Tuesday that iconic character Gerry Cliff would be appearing in an episode of the new series, the Belfast police drama is set for an explosive return later this year.
Things were left on a cliffhanger at the end of series three as seedy private members club owner, Dana Morgan, appeared to join forces with Belfast drug ringleader Tina.

Picking up where things left off, Blue Lights series 4 will see our response cops face “the greatest threat they have ever encountered”.
A plot description reads: “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.”
Richard Dormer, who played Gerry Cliff, will be joined by the return of Hannah McClean as ex-officer and now solicitor, Jen Robinson and Jonathan Harden as disgraced former Inspector, Jonty, for an episode that will answer “important questions from the past”.
Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson, co-creators and co-writers, said: “We’re very excited to bring this series of Blue Lights to audiences.
“It reveals a lot of dark secrets, examines what justice looks like in Belfast today, and ties together the past, present, and futures of Grace, Annie and Tommy in an action-packed story.”
It appears fliming is already underway across the city as crews and cast were spotted on set at a Belfast makeup studio earlier this month.
