New BBC Northern Ireland police drama, Hope Street

The 10-part series, filmed in Donaghadee, Co. Down, was made with support from Northern Ireland Screen. Set in the fictional town of Port Devine on the Northern Ireland coast, the weekly drama will focus on the town’s police department and the mysterious arrival of English Detective Constable

Leila Hussain, played by Amara Karan (The Night of), the first Muslim police officer in the town’s history. With each episode featuring a self-contained crime story, the series will also follow the ups and downs of those working in the police department as they deal with everyday policing in the beautiful seaside town.

The series will air first on BBC One Northern Ireland, followed by BBC Daytime and Britbox North America in the new year.
