The cast<\/a> of season 2 is once again led by Si\u00e2n Brooke, Martin McCann, Katherine Devlin and Nathan Braniff<\/a>, while newcomers joining the show include Frank Blake, Seamus O\u2019Hara, Se\u00e1na Kerslake, Craig McGinlay and Dan Gordon.<\/p>\n The series continues to have a strong sense of place throughout, but just where is it set and where are scenes throughout the show filmed?<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about where Blue Lights is filmed.<\/p>\n Blue Lights is set entirely in Belfast<\/strong>, following the day to day lives of officers working there for the PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland).<\/p>\n Co-creator Adam Patterson said of the series: \u201cWe wanted to make a show that we were proud of, that people in Northern Ireland loved, and a show they felt represented the place we all love. We invested a lot of ourselves in the first series.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, co-creator Declan Lawn added: \u201cBlue Lights is set in a very specific place. It\u2019s hyper local, yet universal in its themes. Everyone has started a new job, has felt under pressure, and to some extent, everyone has found a family that\u2019s not their own family.<\/p>\n \u201cThese things affect all of us, regardless of where we are from, so perhaps that had something to do with why it seemed to resonate so much.\u201d<\/p>\n As with season 1, the entirety of Blue Lights season 2 was shot in Belfast, Northern Ireland<\/strong>, with specific areas being used this time around including the Monkstown area of Newtownabbey<\/strong><\/a> and the Granton Park housing estate<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Other areas used for filming on season 2 included the city centre and the High Street, as well as Dundonald<\/a><\/strong>, which is east of the city.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s creators have consistently praised the crew in Northern Ireland who help put the show together and, when asked what new steps they have taken for season 2, Patterson said they have \u201ctaken more risks in the way we\u2019ve represented the areas we are filming in\u2026 whilst still retaining that authenticity and acceptability that pertains to representing a contemporary place like Belfast\u201d.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cSome of what we\u2019ve filmed has not been easy to show, because it requires us to look at ourselves deeply as a society, which is difficult because there are no easy answers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are shining a light without giving the answers, which creatively is quite difficult, but if you have great characters at the heart of it you can accept that we don\u2019t always need definitive answers. You just need to see how people react when they try to do something in the moment.\u201d<\/p> Meanwhile, Lawn explained that Belfast is \u201cmore of a character in this series\u201d than the first, and that \u201cyou see the full spectrum of the city\u201d throughout the episodes.<\/p>\n Patterson continued: \u201cStylistically, in series two we wanted to evolve and show more of Belfast, and I don\u2019t just mean having more shots of officers in Belfast, but standalone shots of the city that mean something to the storyline.<\/p>\n \u201cWe really worked hard to find the tapestry and the blanket imagery that would lead into our worlds and people, and that led to it feeling more visceral and real. We wanted to show more of this place that we love but that is still in many ways troubled.\u201d<\/p>\n Blue Lights is available to watch in full on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a> to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n The hit police show is back for round two. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":49539,"template":"","categories":[6,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/04\/where-was-blue-lights-season-2-filmed-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The hit police show is back for round two.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/49538"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Where is Blue Lights set?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
