'COBRA' Season 3 to Convene Early on PBS Passport

COBRA Season 3 already promised the "Rebellion" would be televised, as Season 3's subheading was given that name, with a warning that this time, the threats were coming from inside the house. But for PBS Passport members who support their local public television stations, the Rebellion will also officially arrive ahead of schedule. The Summer 2024 mystery schedule is now officially set with six-episode runs of Professor T Season 3, Grantchester Season 9, and D.I. Ray Season 2 to debut on Sunday, June 16, at 8 p.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m. ET, respectively, so fan-favorite COBRA won't arrive on most PBS stations until late July. However, the hardcore stans of the Sutherland administration won't have to wait that long, as COBRA will get an early PBS Passport debut in May 2024.

Sutherland has not had the easiest time as Prime Minister, though, to be fair, at least his administration lasted longer than a head of lettuce, and he was never thrown out of office for holding ill-advised keggers. Instead, he's merely lurched from crisis to crisis, beginning with a worldwide electrical grid collapse which somehow just turned into Northern England getting screwed over again like it always does. Then a World War II vessel with explosives inside was set off by frakking, taking out a good deal of the Kent coastline, a problem that was immediately forgotten about because the GSP and banking systems decided to drive people into each other and steal all their money. Naturally, Britain threatened to go nuclear because that's a measured response to a whole lot of traffic accidents all at once in central London and the logical end of Brexit happening on a compressed timeline.

How do you top that? Civil War. Duh. Roundheads, royalists, beheadings, whatnot. Oh, wait, what, no? It's just the Prime Minister's daughter dating a loser? Ok, well that's pretty bad too.
