Michael Fassbender Shines in Slick Spy Drama 'The Agency'
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Hollywood Reporter
The new CIA drama series 'The Agency,' starring Michael Fassbender, is set in April 2023 to avoid real-life events overtaking its fictional narrative. Director Joe Wright chose this specific time to maintain consistency amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts like the Ukraine-Russia war and the situation in Sudan. The series, an adaptation of the French show 'Le Bureau des Legendes,' features Fassbender as a complex character shaped by his long-term undercover work, with the storyline exploring the psychological impact of espionage. The show is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.
