Co-creator Paul Marquess said he was “beyond excited to be heading home” to make Hope Street.
“Set on Northern Ireland’s stunning coastline, the series is a celebration of local writing, acting and production talent,” he said.
“Warm, engaging and funny, Hope Street presents Northern Ireland to the world in a fresh new light.”
He also added that their ambition was simple, it was to produce a long-running, returning drama series.
He told : “From the outset, we were determined that the series shouldn’t be about the Troubles or serial killers, but should capture the warmth, good humour and resilience of people from Northern Ireland.”
