Michael Fassbender spy thriller The Agency confirms release date in high-octane trailer

As a long-time admirer of Michael Fassbender‘s gripping performances and an avid fan of spy thrillers, I can hardly contain my excitement for The Agency. With its intricate plot, star-studded cast, and the mastermind behind it being George Clooney, this series promises to deliver a rollercoaster ride of suspense and emotion.


The initial trailer for Michael Fassbender’s upcoming espionage thriller, titled “The Agency,” has been unveiled. This sneak peek also includes the long-awaited premiere date for this highly anticipated Paramount Plus production.

The show is a modern adaptation of the French drama “The Bureau of Legends,” or simply “The Bureau.” In this version, Michael Fassbender plays a character codenamed Martian, who spent many years operating undercover.

When summoned to relinquish his secret identity and return to the CIA’s London headquarters, it means saying goodbye to virtually everything, even the woman he has grown fond of, Sami (Jodie Turner-Smith), without much warning at all.

“The summary suggests that when an old love resurfaces, romantic feelings are rekindled. However, his career, true self, and undercover objectives collide with his heart, thrusting them both into a perilous game of international mystery and spying filled with danger.

Watch the trailer for The Agency here, and don’t forget to catch the premiere on Paramount Plus in the United Kingdom and Ireland starting from Saturday, 30th November 2024.

Besides Fassbender, Turner-Smith, Jeffrey Wright (from the recent James Bond film “No Time to Die”), Katherine Waterston (known for “Slow Horses”), Harriet Sansom Harris (who appeared in “Werewolf by Night”), India Fowler (recognized from “Insomnia”), and Richard Gere (famous for “MotherFatherSon”), The Agency also boasts these talented individuals.

The television series you’re referring to is overseen as an executive producer by esteemed Hollywood figure George Clooney, and it has been collaboratively scripted by brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth – a duo famed for their work on films such as Ford v Ferrari and Indiana Jones 5: The Dial of Destiny.

Regarding his experience with the project, Fassbender expressed to Entertainment Weekly: “I’ve never been the main character in a television series before, so I hold it in high regard.

My day is filled with numerous tasks, requiring swift action and productivity. Yet, I’m truly relishing every moment of it.

In a departure from what he earlier considered his final small-screen part in the BBC miniseries “MotherFatherSon,” Gere has taken on another regular television role for the first time in a while, finding himself astounded by the magnitude of “The Agency.

In my younger days, television wasn’t an activity people were keen on – it was simply not done. The programming wasn’t of the best quality, but now, there are shows on TV that rival or even surpass what we see in movies. This was his observation.

Modern TV has transformed into something quite distinct. Let me confess, it might not be appropriate, but the financial aspect of it left me astonished – it requires substantial resources to narrate tales effectively.

The Agency is available to stream on Paramount Plus from Saturday 30th November.
