Blue Lights Creators Exit After Series Four as BBC Holds Talks on Future

Overview

• Series four of Blue Lights finished its run on BBC One on Tuesday 3 November after six episodes.
• Co-creators Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson confirmed on 3 November that they are stepping away to pursue other projects, including a new BBC drama called D-Notice.
• The BBC said it is 'taking a beat' and is in discussions with production companies Two Cities Television and Gallagher Films about whether the series can continue.
• Executive producers Stephen Wright and Louise Gallagher said they are talking to the BBC about next steps and thanked Lawn and Patterson for their work on the show.
• Lawn and Patterson wrote every season and planned seasons three and four together, so their exit creates a substantive creative change that will affect decisions on writers, tone and casting if a fifth series is commissioned.
