The creators behind The Salisbury Poisonings have announced their next project - and it sounds like a must-watch.
The BBC's upcoming Blue Lights is a six-part police drama written by Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn.
It will tell the story of probationary police officers working in Belfast where they will learn the basics of their jobs as they come to terms with a "constant threat", the BBC said in their announcement.
The officers-in-training must learn what it takes to make it as a police officer.

The show was inspired by "extensive research and interviews" and is inspired by the lives of real police officers working in Northern Ireland.
Both Adam and Declan worked in journalism before shifting to television. Declan spent ten years as an investigative reporter for BBC Panorama and Adam Patterson spent years working as a photojournalist and worked on current affairs documentaries.
Blue Lights marks their first series since The Salisbury Poisonings debuted in June last year.
