If you've enjoyed "Blue Lights" so far, you'll love the latest season, set six months after the events of S3, as there will be even bigger and more explosive stunts, more relationship drama, and a new threat on the Belfast streets that will push the constables to their limits.
All the while, the murder trial of Gerry Cliff brings with it massive repercussions as a dark secret causes chaos both within the police force and in the criminal underworld. As difficult as it may be to stomach, Grace, Tommy and Annie are going to need to dig deep and face the truth if they're to go the next level in their work.

How to watch 'Blue Lights' season 4 from anywhere
Thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), "Blue Lights" season 4 should be available to Brits no matter where they are. The software allows your devices to appear to be back in the U.K. and watch iPlayer for free, as if you were back home.
Not all VPNs works for this — but NordVPN (try risk-free) does (we use it daily).
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. Try NordVPN.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.K. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to BBC iPlayer to watch "Blue Lights" season 4 online and on-demand.
Watch 'Blue Lights' season 4 in the U.K.
"Blue Lights" season 4 will be broadcast on BBC One, with the fist episode airing on Tuesday, September 29 at 9 p.m. BST.
If you miss the broadcast, you can replay it on BBC iPlayer. The full boxset will be available on there from September 29.
Outside the U.K.? You don't have to miss the show if you are a Brit living abroad because you can watch your usual streams from anywhere with a VPN.
Can you watch 'Blue Lights' season 4 in the U.S., Canada or Australia?
Unfortunately, as the show is tied to the BBC, there is no way to watch "Blue Lights" season 4 on any linear TV channels in the U.S., Canada, or Australia (or anywhere outside of the U.K.). The series will not be playing on any streaming services, either.
It's possible it may be released at a later date on BritBox, like past seasons, but there is currently no date for that.
The solution? NordVPN can unlock your stream if you're a British resident so you can watch "Blue Lights" from anywhere.
