With the new season of COBRA now available to stream in full, and fans finding out where the land lies after Prime Minister Robert Sutherland and his cabinet have dealt with another crisis, thoughts inevitably turn to the future.

The Government in the series has now faced solar flares, cyber attacks, major protests and more across the three season run, with Robert Carlyle starring as the Prime Minister.

But will the show be back for another season, or has it been relegated to the back benches? And if it does return, who will be in the cast for season 4?

Will there be a COBRA season 4?

It hasn't been confirmed yet whether COBRA will be coming back for season 4, but based on the cliffhanger ending to season 3, it certainly seems as though that would be the plan.

We will update this page as soon as we have further information regarding the future of COBRA on Sky and NOW.

When would COBRA season 4 air?

It's hard to say exactly when new episodes of COBRA would arrive if the show were to come back for a fourth season, but they may follow a similar release pattern to previous seasons.

Season 1 originally came out in early 2020, and was followed by season 2 in late 2021. The third season then arrived in late 2023.

Given this, it looks like a gap between seasons of around 2 years is the norm, suggesting we could see new episodes around autumn 2025.

We will keep this page updated if and when we get any more concrete information regarding a release date.

If COBRA were to return for a fourth outing, we would certainly expect major cast members from season 3 including Robert Carlyle, Victoria Hamilton, David Haig and Marsha Thomason to be back.

  • Richard Pepple as Joseph Obasi
  • Lisa Palfrey as Eleanor James
