Jodie Turner-Smith has joined the cast of Paramont+'s espionage political thriller The Agency, currently in production in London.
The Agency (previously titled The Darptment) follows Martian (played by Michael Fassbender), a covert CIA agent, ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart; hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.
Turner-Smith will play Sami Zahir, a Professor of Social Anthropology who has a history with Martian and joins previously announced series regulars Jeffrey Wright and Richard Gere.
The Agency is based on the French drama Le Bureau des Legendes (English title: The Beauru) and is co-distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution and Federation Studios.
Executive producers are Keith Cox and Nina L. Diaz for Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios; David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari for 101 Studios, George Clooney and Grant Heslov for Smokehouse Pictures; Alex Berger for TOP - The Originals Productions; and Ashley Stern and Pascal Breton for Federation Studios/Federation Entertainment of America.
Jez and John-Henry Butterworth are writers and executive producers; Joe Wright is executive producer and director for the first two episodes.
