Sky has confirmed that new comedy, Code 404, will air on Sky One and NOW TV from 29 April.

Code 404

Detective Inspectors DI John Major (Mays) and DI Roy Carver (Graham) are the top crime fighting duo in the Unit.

But when an undercover sting goes horribly wrong, Major is gunned down on the job and killed.

Full of guilt and regret about Major’s untimely death, Roy turns to the only person who understands him; John’s wife, Kelly (Maxwell Martin).

However, John gets a reboot.  Chosen by the police as the prototype for a new A.I. driven initiative, John is brought back from the dead – much to the surprise of Roy and Kelly.  He’d like to believe he’s better than ever, but something isn’t quite right…

The six episode, 30-minute long, police comedy is directed by Al Campbell and written by Daniel Peak.

Executive producers include Tom Miller and Sam Myer for Water & Power Productions, Phil Temple for Kudos, part of EndemolShine UK and Morwenna Gordon for Sky.

The series was commissioned by Jon Mountague, Director of Comedy at Sky Studios and Zai Bennett, MD of Content at Sky UK & Ireland.
