"A stellar cast facing a dangerous threat": The Undeclared War is back and perfect for The Night Manager fans

If you're in the market for a new The Night Manager-esque TV show to fill your evenings with (especially now Wimbledon is over and the World Cup has almost reached its conclusion!), might we point you in the direction of The Undeclared War season 2.

The tech thriller series returns to Channel 4 four years after it last aired, featuring a stellar cast facing a dangerous threat. It's high-stakes drama for your diary. Here is everything you need to know about it, from its release date to new cast and the trailer.

Set two years after the Russian cyber-attack of season one, The Undeclared War season 2 sees a "potentially nuclear piece of malware" attempt to infiltrate the UK, forcing Danny and his team to face up to an even more threatening situation.

As the Channel 4 description reads, "Set in 2024, The Undeclared War returns with 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."

Kelsey Balance, EVP of Global Scripted Series at Universal Global Television added, “With gripping new threats, unexpected twists and a fantastic mix of new and returning characters, this next chapter of The Undeclared War promises to be an exhilarating ride. We look forward to returning to the high-stakes and ever-changing world of cyber warfare for audiences to explore once more.”
