The Agency Renewed for Season 2 on Showtime

The espionage thriller 'The Agency,' starring Michael Fassbender, has been renewed for a second season just days after its November 29, 2024 premiere, which attracted 5.1 million viewers and set a record as Showtime's most streamed new series. The series, adapted from the French drama 'Le Bureau des Legendes,' follows CIA agent Martian, who is forced to leave his undercover life and return to London, where past romance complicates his mission. Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global's Co-CEO, praised the show's success as evidence of Showtime's potential for growth under its new slate. The cast also features Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Richard Gere, with guest appearances from Dominic West and Hugh Bonneville. The series is produced by a team that includes notable names like George Clooney and Jez Butterworth. The quick renewal reflects strong audience interest and critical acclaim.
