What to Read Next
The series was filmed in Donaghadee, a coastal town in Northern Ireland, and is set in the made-up town of Port Devine. The story centers around the police station and the officers who work there.
I’m so excited for the fifth season! It’s going to have eight episodes, and from what I’ve heard, they’re adding two new cast members to the group. I can’t wait to see how they fit in!
Cameron Cuffe will play Constable Donal Gallagher, and Jenn Murray will play Doctor Sasha Cookson in the upcoming episodes. Their characters will meet, and a romantic connection is expected to develop between the former rugby player, now a police officer, and the direct and honest doctor.
The new series is also set to hit a milestone as it will air its 50th episode.
Mary McKeagney, Commissioning Editor for BBC Northern Ireland, said in a statement that “Hope Street” beautifully reflects the humor and heart of the area, and it’s wonderful that it’s resonated with viewers throughout the UK.
Reaching episode 50 is a huge accomplishment for everyone who works on the show, and we’re incredibly proud of how successful it’s become.
Viewers of *Hope Street* are enjoying the show’s lovely coastal scenery in Northern Ireland and its engaging mystery plots. Some have even compared it to the popular drama *Doc Martin*, which is set in Cornwall.
One IMDb user pointed out that *Hope Street* is similar to *Doc Martin*, but with a crime element added in. Another viewer described it as a feel-good drama filmed in a lovely location.
Season 5 will feature Kerri Quinn, known from *Coronation Street*, as Marlene Pettigrew, and Tara Lynne O’Neill, famous for *Derry Girls*, as Eve Dunlop. Joining them are Aaron McCusker as Clint Devine-Dunwoody, Niamh McGrady as Nicole Devine-Dunwoody, Marcus Onilude as Luke Jackson, and several other actors.
Season 5 of Hope Street begins on BBC One on October 31st. You can also watch it on BBC iPlayer starting October 27th, and the entire season will be available there from October 31st.
Seasons 1-4 are streaming on the same platform now.
