‘COBRA: CYBERWAR’ Gets Trailer & October Premiere On Sky Max & NOW
Robert Carlyle and Victoria Hamilton return in Season 2 of ‘COBRA‘, as Sky releases a trailer and announces an October premiere date.
Titled ‘COBRA: CYBERWAR’, the second season continues in the aftermath of both the solar and political storms of season one. Prime Minister Robert Sutherland (Carlyle) attempts to steer the country on a more even course, and is assisted, as ever, by his loyal Chief of Staff Anna Marshall (Hamilton) alongside a team of dedicated advisers.
An assassination on British soil, however, unleashes a chain of events that threatens to develop into a crisis even more serious than the one from which the country has recently emerged. An invisible global enemy, not playing by the rules and operating outside national boundaries, appears to be bent on our destruction, leaving an entire country unsure as to who is friend and who is foe.
Alongside Carlyle and Hamilton, the series features an ensemble cast of Richard Dormer as Fraser Walker, Head of Civil Contingencies, David Haig as Archie Glover-Morgan, Marsha Thomason as Francine Bridge, Director of Policy and Richard Pepple as Joseph Obasi, Home Secretary.
The six-episode series, which is created and written by Ben Richards, looks at what happens when cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure and fake news are used to subvert democracy.
‘COBRA: CYBERWAR’ is commissioned by Zai Bennett, Managing Director of Content at Sky and will be executive produced by Gabriel Silver for Sky Studios. The series is created and written by Ben Richards with additional episodes written by Toby Finlay and will be produced by New Pictures in association with Sky Studios. The executive producers include Charlie Pattinson and Ben Richards. Joe Donaldson is the producer with Al Mackay directing block one, Mo Ali block two and Sallie Aprahamian block three. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle international sales of the series on behalf of Sky Studios.
