Hope Street, the beloved BBC drama, is making a comeback with a new season. Fans of the show can finally rejoice as a fourth series is on its way to grace our screens. This thrilling crime-solving drama is set in the fictional town of Port Devine, located in Northern Ireland. It has captured the hearts of viewers not only in the UK, but also in the US and beyond.
The first season of Hope Street introduced Leila Hussain, whose arrival caused quite a stir in the sleepy town. The second season saw the addition of new detective Al Quinn, who also caused quite a commotion. The third season, considered the best by The Agency, saw the arrival of Jo Lipton, and her presence definitely shook things up, especially for PC Callum McCarthy.
It has been a while since the third season aired on iPlayer, and fans have been eagerly waiting for news about the show's fate. Well, we are pleased to confirm that a fourth season, consisting of eight episodes, has been commissioned earlier this year. The new season has already been filmed in Donaghadee and promises to be the most different one yet, with the police department moving to a new headquarters.
But that's not all, there's a new inspector in town! Police Inspector Eve Dunlop, played by the iconic Tara Lynne O'Neill from Derry Girls, will be taking charge at the station. After leaving Port Devine many years ago, Eve has returned with her family to build bridges and investigate a mysterious disappearance. "I am absolutely delighted to be joining Hope Street and cannot wait to work by the sea," said Tara Lynne. "Port Devine, watch out!"
Joining Tara Lynne is Ted Lasso star Marcus Onilude, who has also joined the cast. And for fans worried about the fate of PC Callum, played by Niall Wright, rest assured that he will be back for another season. Marlene Pettigrew, played by Kerri Quinn, will also be making a comeback, along with other familiar faces such as Aaron McCusker, Niamh McGrady, Finnian Garbutt, Des McAleer, Rachel Tucker, and Karen Hassan.
Eddie Doyle, Head of Content Commissioning at BBC Northern Ireland, expressed his excitement about the show's return and the addition of new characters. He also thanked BBC Daytime, Northern Ireland Screen, and BritBox International for their support. Helen Munson, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, also shared her joy about bringing back the beautiful backdrop of Northern Ireland for another season.
Jess O'Riordan, Commissioning Executive for BritBox International, expressed their delight in working with BBC and Long Story again for the fourth season of Hope Street. She also promised fans that the new season will have more crime-solving and gripping storytelling set against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery we all know and love.
