Upcoming episodes:
Season 7, Episode 1
Debut date: FRIDAY, FEB. 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT)
The members of covert antiterrorism unit Section 20 - Novin (Alin Sumarwata), Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson), Mac (Warren Brown) and Chetri (Varada Sethu) - are reunited by commanding officer Coltrane (Jamie Bamber) under the pretense of rescuing Dr. Helen McCluskey (Lucy Russell), a biochemist who's been taken as a hostage in Kosovo by the Albanian mafia. But as the apparent search-and-rescue escalates, a sinister conspiracy to cover up the development of the weaponized virus unfolds, and S20 must track down the stolen bioweapon before the Albanians use it for profit. The trail leads them to Venice, where mob boss Edon (Goran Bogdan) has arranged a meeting with a potential buyer. Meanwhile, Coltrane attempts to extract intelligence from Edon's driver Jovan (Tomi May) - whom he's convinced he's met before.

After catching wind of a feud brewing between Edon (Goran Bogdan) and his son Loric (Maxim Baldry), S20 launches a raid on their family business in hopes of extracting the location of the bioweapon from Loric, whose self-serving cooperation leads them to an exchange between Edon and jihadist brothers Zayef (Alec Secareanu) and Mahir (Bamshad Abedi-Amin). Meanwhile, wedding arrangements between the Demachi and Vironi families sour, Mac (Warren Brown) considers a career-changing offer from Coltrane (Jamie Bamber), and Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson) is tempted to compromise his professional integrity.

But with the squad on Kogan's tail, the device winds up in the hands of a notorious Israeli gangster who promises to make matters even more complicated.
