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. The third series premiered on 4 August 2022. 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.
