The Agency Renewed for Season 2 on Paramount + with Showtime

The Agency will return for a second season!

After becoming the most streamed new series in Showtime history, Showtime/MTV Studios renewed the freshman drama for Season 2. The Agency broke records by delivering 5.1M global cross-platform viewers.

The renewal comes after the show’s two-episode debut on Friday, November 29.

The Agency offers a new take on the acclaimed French drama Le Bureau des Legendes. Michael Fassbender stars as Martian, “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,” per its synopsis. 

The Agency also stars Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere, Katherine Waterston, John Magaro, Alex Reznik, Andrew Brooke, Harriet Sansom Harris, India Fowler, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, and Reza Brojerdi.

Dominic West and Hugh Bonneville guest star, while Adam Nagaitis, Ambreen Razia, Bilal Hasna, David Harewood, Kurt Egyiawan, Ray BLK, Sabrina Wu, and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor recur on the global espionage thriller.

“The success of The Agency is proof that our new SHOWTIME® slate is poised to propel Paramount+ to its next phase of growth,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO, SHOWTIME® & MTV Entertainment Studios, said.

“This achievement is a testament to the creative power of the team led by George Clooney, Jez Butterworth, Joe Wright, and David Glasser and our incredible cast including Michael Fassbender, Richard Gere, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Jeffrey Wright,” McCarthy added.

Jez and John-Henry Butterworth are writers and executive producers on The Agency. Executive producer Joe Wright directed The Agency Season 1 Episode 1, “The Bends,” and The Agency Season 1 Episode 2, “Wooden Duck.”

Keith Cox and Nina L. Diaz (SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios); David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari (101 Studios), George Clooney and Grant Heslov (Smokehouse Pictures); Alex Berger (TOP – The Originals Productions); and Ashley Stern and Pascal Breton (Federation Studios/Federation Entertainment of America); and Michael Fassbender executive produce. 

Paramount+ commissions The Agency, which is produced in association with Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
