Code 404 series 2 trailer spells disaster for Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays as release date confirmed

The first look trailer and release date for Code 404 series 2 has been revealed – and there’s not long to wait before it’s back on television screens.

The Sky show, starring Stephen Graham, Daniel Mays, and Anna Maxwell Martin, quickly became Sky’s most-watched comedy when it made its debut last year, and its new chapter looks just as hilarious.

DI Roy Carver (Graham) and DI John Major (Mays) are back together but falling apart in the 30-second teaser, which has been exclusively shared with Metro.co.uk.

‘My AI’s failing,’ a panicked DI Major says, with his partner desperately trying to get him fixed.

But that’s not the only obstacle the duo look set to face, as of course, DI Major discovers that his best friend has shacked up with his wife Kelly (Anna Maxwell Martin) while he was away.

‘Having cracked The Juggler case with his long-suffering partner, the resurrected DI Major has finally reached his potential as the top cop in the SIU,’ a synopsis for the new series teases.

‘While the pair work on repairing their friendship following the conclusion of series one, a 21-year-old case with a significant connection to Major is reopened.’

It continues: ‘With an impending divorce, the return of his long-time absentee dad, and danger around every corner, the pressure seems to be getting to Major and he starts exhibiting strange behavioural glitches.

‘However, much to Carver’s concern, the problems are more serious than a typical reboot can solve, and our cyborg hero may be looking at terminal failure.’

The brand new series is set to debut on September 1 and all episodes will be available to stream on Sky Comedy and NOW.
