Sky has confirmed that Cobra: Cyberwar will debut on Sky Max on Friday October 15th at 9pm.\u00a0<\/strong>And the even better news is that all six episodes of the series will be able to binge on NOW from the same date.<\/p>\n Robert Carlyle reprises his lead role as Prime Minister Robert Sutherland for the second run, while Victoria Hamilton also returns as the PM\u2019s chief of staff Anna Marshall.<\/p>\n Speaking at Sky\u2019s Up Next event back in February 2020, the star said: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely delighted by the audience reaction and success of Cobra. I look forward to season two and welcome the chance to play the PM Robert Sutherland once again.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, he told a press Q&A (per BT.com<\/a>) what lies in store for his character this time out.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously there\u2019s been an election and his majority has been sizeably reduced,\u201d he said. \u201cHe needs to form some kind of ally with David Haig\u2019s wonderful Archie Glover-Morgan, which he does which is obviously a problem for Anna Marshall because those two really don\u2019t get on.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cHis personal life is what maybe is the most interesting thing for me was where he was with his wife and his daughter because obviously there was an issue with lying to parliament with his wife and daughter potentially going to go for prison for that, but they\u2019ve not \u2013 his daughter is now in Chile and his wife is trying to come to terms with this whole life. He wants to be there [in power] but I think his wife is struggling.\u201d<\/p>\n Richard Dormer will reprise his role as Head of Civil Contingencies Fraser Walker, David Haig will return as Home Secretary Archie Glover-Morgan and Marsha Thomason will once again play Francine Bridge, Director of Policy.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Bridgerton<\/a> and Gangs of London<\/a> star Richard Pepple joins the cast as new character Joseph Obasi, who takes over from Archie as Home Secretary \u2013 with the latter moving into a new post as Foreign Secretary.<\/p>\n The cast also includes Lisa Palfrey, Andrew Buchan, Alexa Davies and Dipo Ola.<\/p>\n As you might have guessed by its title, the series focuses on cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, as well as the impact of fake news on democracy.<\/p>\n According to Sky, the second series will see Sutherland attempt to \u201csteer the country on a more even course\u201d, assisted as ever by his loyal Chief-of-Staff Anna Marshall, alongside a team of dedicated advisers.<\/p>\n His plans are somewhat complicated by an assassination on British soil which 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.<\/p>\n Sutherland and Marshall are soon at war with \u201can apparently invisible global enemy\u201d, which leaves then unsure who can really be trusted, and seems bent on destruction.<\/p>\n You can check out the trailer for the second series below, which teases just some of the stressful threats waiting for Sutherland and co. this time around.<\/p>\nCOBRA season 2 cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n
