In the new season, Amy and Kirsten will be tasked with finding out the cause of multiple deaths at a Scottish weapons test and entering the closed ranks of the air force in Scotland and the Middle East, as well as the secret world of drone warfare.
In one of the new images, Amy can be seen on the tarmac at an airfield, while another sees Amy and Kirsten in the woods, with their guards up as they face a mystery character.
Another photo sees Kirsten sat next to Amir El-Masry's new character Daniel Ramsay, while one more introduces us to Dougray Scott's new character Marcus Grainger.
