The 'COBRA' Season 3 Trailer Brings The Rebellion Home

It's been a minute since the hijinks of Prime Minister Robert Sutherland (Robert Carlyle) and his hapless Tory cabinet have faced random world-ending crises from Cabinet Office Briefing Room A, aka a COBRA. The second season, subtitled "Cyberwar," aired on Sky TV at the end of 2021 and followed on PBS in summer 2022. Season 3 was already greenlit before Season 2 finished airing in the states; subtitled "Rebellion," the show's synopsis promised it wasn't slowing down anytime soon. However, it's only now prepping to return to the UK airwaves and probably won't arrive on PBS until mid-2024.

For those who need a refresher, when we last left Carlyle and his Tory mates, they had lurched from crisis to crisis, beginning with a World War II vessel with explosives inside, frakking-induced underwater earthquakes set that off and taking out a good deal of the Kent coastline to GSP systems total screwing up traffic and the banking system to the point that Britain threatens 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.

With the series preparing to return to Sky TV in the U.K., the first image and trailer are now out, along with new cast additions. It also reveals exactly what the series means when it says the Rebellion is coming.
