Code 404 is a British police procedural comedy-drama television series created by Tom Miller, Sam Myer and Daniel Peak, and produced by Kudos. The first series premiered on 29 April 2020 on Sky One, before later moving to Sky Comedy, where the second series premiered on 1 September 2021, also broadcasting simultaneously on Sky Showcase. It stars Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays and co-stars Anna Maxwell Martin, Rosie Cavaliero and Tracy Ann Oberman.[1] The show also premiered on Peacock in the US on 8 October 2020.

Plot

Set in the near future, Code 404 revolves around a pair of top-notch investigators, DI John Major (Daniel Mays) and DI Roy Carver (Stephen Graham). When Major is killed on duty, his body is transferred to an experimental artificial intelligence project to revive him. However, the AI lacks the crimefighting instincts of Major.

As of 2022, all 3 series have aired.[2] The third series premiered on 4 August 2022.[3] This was confirmed to be the final series of Code 404, with Sky citing that the reasons for its cancellation were rooted in the main cast being too busy to film a fourth series.[4]
