Michael Fassbender as Martian running in the woods in The Agency
The Agency is open for business - and Michael Fassbender and Richard Gere are reporting for duty. Entertainment Weekly has the first images from the spy thriller, which will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime this fall.
The Agency is an adaptation of the French series Le Bureau des Légendes, and was formerly titled The Department; it will center around a CIA agent known only by his code name, Martian , who is called back into the local office after six years of deep undercover duty. Once there, he has to relearn how to operate under the conventional chain of command, as he answers to London bureau chief Bosko , a former undercover agent himself.
Close Who Else Stars in 'The Agency'? In addition to Fassbender and Gere, two relative newcomers to TV, The Agency is fully staffed with an array of acclaimed actors. CIA operations director and Martian's mentor, Henry, will be played by Jeffrey Wright - no stranger to espionage after his role as CIA agent Felix Leiter in three James Bond films. Jodie Turner-Smith will play Sami Zahir, a social anthropology professor with a history with Martian.
The series boasts an impressive behind-the-scenes pedigree. It is produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures, and Joe Wright will direct the first two episodes. All ten episodes of the first season will be written by brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth . The Agency will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime later this fall; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
