The creative team behind the series

From writers and creators Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth, and executive producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov, The Agency brings together a creative team with serious drama credentials behind it.

The Butterworths writing duo adapted Le Bureau des Légendes, the acclaimed French espionage drama that built a devoted international following for its unusually grounded and psychologically rigorous take on intelligence work. Their version keeps the original series’ emphasis on the emotional toll of deep-cover operations while rebuilding the story within a CIA-driven world and an English-language ensemble.

Do I need to watch Season 1 to enjoy Season 2?

No. You do not watch The Agency Season 1 to enjoy The Agency Season 2. New viewers can jump straight into Season 2. So, if you haven’t had the chance to watch Season 1, you can still follow along without feeling lost.

Season 1 ending recap: Spoilers ahead!

Here’s where things stand at the end of The Agency Season 1: Martian (Michael Fassbender) is a covert CIA operative who has spent years disappearing into lives that are not his own. When he’s pulled back to London Station, he reconnects with Samia (Jodie Turner-Smith), the woman he walked away from, and everything he has trained to compartmentalize stops cooperating, making the mission a whole lot more complicated.

Season 1 is now streaming on Paramount+.
