The teaser begins with a throwback to the finale of the first series, where a car explosion in central London leaves fans wondering if Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) has met his end.
However, it soon becomes apparent that despite some injuries, Hal survives, with Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) steadfastly by his side during his recovery.
But when three Americans are killed, Kate suspects that the threat originates from “inside the house”, implying No. 10 Downing Street so who is truly orchestrating these attacks?
