419:". Brannier aimed to represent Belfast in a different manner to the way it usually is, to "step away from the black and white representation of Belfast", calling it a fantastic challenge. Lawn explained the importance of portraying Belfast on the show, as many crew members described the city itself as another character in the show. He explained: "We've always dreamed of making a show in Belfast and Blue Lights is a distillation of everything we've learned from living here and being journalists here. We think it shows the city in a way that's never been shown before in terms of the bad and the good, the kind of vibrancy of it and the problems of it". They admitted that some of their "more established stars" who grew up in Belfast understood the dangers of the jobs, as in Lawn's words: "They could explain the context to the others". Lawn went on to describe his own experiences growing up in the city, where he would feel at "constant risk" and never knew if his parents would return home from work at the end of a weekday. Lawn admitted that some of the actors, especially the younger stars, were surprised to learn about the treatment of police officers in Northern Ireland. According to Patterson, when writing

to series 1 and was "looking forward to bringing characters and the city of
Belfast back for series two as well as introducing some exciting new characters and storylines to the fans". The BBC has announced that the first episode of series 2 would air at 9 pm on 15 April 2024 on BBC One. All episodes of series 2 would become available to watch on BBC iPlayer at 6am on the same day while the remainder of the series would air weekly. It was further teased that the second series would take place exactly a year after the events of the first, with the characters set to be "facing a whole new set of professional and personal challenges". Tommy would become interested by the world of intelligence policing and Grace would struggle to deal with her son's absence and feelings for Stevie. It expanded that Grace, Annie, and Tommy would no longer be "fresh out of training" and would mainly be dealing with rival loyalist gangs who try to fill the vacuum left by the MacIntyres after they were taken down in series 1, teasing: "As a young loyalist threatens to take over the city, the officers face a major gangland feud – culminating in a violent and devastating confrontation".
411:. The upcoming series was described as "an authentic, gripping and darkly funny drama about ordinary people doing an extraordinary job in a society that could spiral out of control at any moment". The series follows three rookie police officers working in Belfast, described as "a uniquely dangerous place to be a police officer", and the "unique set of pressures and dangers they face as frontline cops". The three were further described as being in their probation period, with the odds of all three passing stacked against them. Director Gilles Brannier called it "quite challenging" to her own vision for this show due to it being mainly character driven. Lawn and Patterson suggested the appeal of the series was the "great universality" of its themes, coupled with its "slice of life" view of Belfast. Lawn and Patterson further added that due to being set in modern-day Belfast, the officers would face "a very specific set of policing problems from the legacy of sectarian violence". Patterson even likened the job of being a police officer in Belfast to "trench warfare", saying that the series would reflect the "lingering threat" to police officers in Belfast.
434:. Patterson paid tribute to Caldwell, and believed the incident was "a reminder as to why the show is so important". He continued by adding: "We can't just ignore the fact that there is still a lingering threat for these people that literally lay themselves on the line to uphold our civic duty. That's amazing, and we just love the police for that. Of course, they’re a flawed machine; like many machines, they have their issues". He commented that it is "amazing" that people would put themselves in harm's way for others, adding "I think a society can only survive through people that".

423:, he and Lawn aimed to challenge people's mindsets, saying: "I think if you think about the world like that, then you can actually move forward as a society. But if you lock yourself away and put yourself in a binary mindset then you can't. So our objective always in writing is to push past that and make people challenge themselves."
