The futuristic crime comedy has gone down a storm with viewers in its first two seasons – with the debut run having been Sky’s fastest binged original comedy boxset ever and the second season becoming the biggest season launch in the history of the Sky Comedy channel.

It's no surprise, then, that the series will be returning – with Anna Maxwell Martin, Rosie Cavaliero, Michelle Greenidge, Richard Gadd, Amanda Payton, Tracy-Ann Oberman and Michael Armstrong also set to reprise their roles.

There are also a couple of new faces joining for season three: Boiling Point's Vinette Robinson is introduced as Professor McAllister while Timewasters star Daniel Lawrence Taylor takes on the role of journalist Searle.

The series will once again revolve around the misadventures of artificially enhanced super-cop John Major (Mays) and his long-suffering partner Roy Carver (Graham) as they face possibly their biggest case yet.
