News: Cobra: Rebellion, the third season in the Cobra series is confirmed to air on Sky MAX from this October.

When an unforeseen environmental disaster causes enormous destruction and loss of life, the consequences are far reaching for the Prime Minister. The subsequent investigation leads Sutherland and his team to realise that all may not be as it appears. Embarking on a quest to discover the truth, they find something disturbing and disruptive underneath. The crisis spirals to encompass not only the urgent threat of environmental destruction, but also the malignant corruption of the arms industry and the rise of shadowy corporate security firms. The cabinet are faced with the inconvenient reality of the UK’s historic relationship with a global superpower.

All these elements combine to lead our Prime Minister to a crucial decision, about who he is personally, and what – ultimately – he is willing to sacrifice in order to remain in power. Robert Carlyle remains in office at Number 10 alongside Victoria Hamilton, who is back as Chief of Staff Anna Marshall. Jane Horrocks (Bloods, Absolutely Fabulous) also join the cast, entering the cabinet as the new populist Defence Secretary, Victoria Dalton.
