Channel 4's hit cyber-thriller is back!
Today, Channel 4 has announced that The Undeclared War, will be returning for a second series and released a number of first look images to go alongside the announcement.
Set in 2024, The Undeclared War returns with what promises to be a fresh wave of tension and drama as the elite Malware Department at GCHQ grapples with the aftermath of a devastating Russian cyber-attack. Just when it seems the UK has gained the upper hand, Danny and the team uncover a far more dangerous threat.
The six-part cyber-thriller, will see the return of Simon Pegg as Danny Patrick, Director of Operations at GCHQ (U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters), with Siân Brooke joining the cast as Barbara Patrick, Danny’s wife, ex-MI6 and now an analyst at GCHQ.

And Chloe Pirrie will play Lt Colonel Roz Cavendish, seconded by Marston to GCHQ in the newly created role of Director of Rapid Response, a move which Danny interprets as a threat to his authority.
Written by Colin Teevan, The Undeclared War will be produced by Caroline Levy, directed by Paul McGuigan and made by Playground, Stonehenge Films and Universal International Studios.
It'll be executive produced by Playground’s Colin Callender, Daniel Gratton, and Noëlette Buckley, Stonehenge Films’ Peter Kosminsky, Colin Teevan, and Paul McGuigan. The original series was created by Kosminsky and Callender.
