Will There Be a 'COBRA' Season 2?

Good news for COBRA fans - the political thriller will indeed return for a second season, but what that will look like is really anyone's guess, particularly after the bonkers events of Season 1.

The Season 2 renewal was announced earlier this year. The drama, which follows the global and political fallout from a devastating solar storm which caused everything from power outages to mass protests, was one of Sky One's most successful drama series in recent years, racking up over 2.2 million viewers and registering as one of the network's most binged box-sets online. (Not surprising, giving how propulsive and generally addictive its storylines were -- even if they often made no sense if you thought about them too hard.)

The second season will once again be comprised of six episodes. In it, in the aftermath of both solar and political storms, Prime Minister Robert Sutherland (Robert Carlyle) attempts to steer the country on a more even course. He is assisted, as ever, by his loyal Chief-of-Staff Anna Marshall (Victoria Hamilton), alongside a team of dedicated advisers.
