This Sky original has made the move to Netflix


Looking for a new comedy to stream? Starring Friends’ David Schwimmer, Intelligence is a fan favourite, riffing on the differences between Brits and Americans, all set in a cyber security environment. Here’s what to expect, plus whether there will be an Intelligence season 4.

Will There Be Intelligence Season 4?

No, it doesn’t look like audiences will be treated to Intelligence season 4 – not that season 3 can really be called a ‘season’. Made up of one double-length episode, the unusual third season aired in May 2024, and there has been no movement towards more content since. Before that, seasons 1 and 2 were made up of six episodes each.

What Is Intelligence About?

Intelligence is a British sitcom centring on NSA agent Jerry Bernstein (David Schwimmer), who is assigned to act as a liaison to the UK’s GCHQ – quickly antagonising the unit’s chief with his brash style and tendency to take over.

Masterminded by British comedian Nick Mohammed (who you might recognise from Ted Lasso), the series debuted in February 2020 on Sky One, but is back in the spotlight after launching on Netflix.
