‘The Agency’ is gearing up to take fans to familiar locations in its second season! The Paramount+ with Showtime spy drama series, which is the remake of the French show ‘The Bureau’ (‘Le Bureau des Légendes’), will begin filming its sophomore installment in London, Estonia, and Egypt in April 2025. Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth continue to serve as the showrunners, with Michael Fassbender returning to headline the series as Martian. It is also speculated that Joe Wright, who helmed the first two episodes of the first season, may return as a director.
The first season of ‘The Agency’ concludes with a dramatic twist, as Martian finds himself in an impossible position. Faced with the capture and torture of Dr. Samia “Sami” Zahir (Jodie Turner-Smith), the protagonist makes the controversial choice to betray his country to secure her release. This decision, which places his career and integrity at risk, has left viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering what the future holds for the conflicted officer.
The fallout from Martian’s decision to prioritize his personal connections over national loyalty may pave the way for heightened tensions within the CIA and spark a series of conflicts in the sophomore installment. It may also explore his ongoing internal battle with guilt and redemption as he grapples with the repercussions of his actions. Meanwhile, Sami’s traumatic experiences are likely to continue influencing her relationship with him, potentially leading to new challenges or deeper emotional connections.
In the second season, viewers can expect the return of several key cast members. In addition to Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith is anticipated to return as Sami. Jeffrey Wright will most likely continue playing Henry Ogletree, Martian’s mentor, in addition to Katherine Waterston and Richard Gere, who may slip back into their roles as Naomi and James Bradley, respectively. The returnees may also include John Magaro as Owen Taylor, who undergoes significant growth in the first season, bringing further intrigue to the evolving narrative.
With the second season set to feature Egypt, London, and Estonia, ‘The Agency’ is set to expand its international scope further. These three locations, which have been integral to the show since the first season, offer a rich geopolitical backdrop. Films like ‘Death on the Nile‘ and ‘Red Notice‘ have showcased Egypt’s striking landscapes, while London has appeared in productions such as ‘The Woman in the Window‘ and ‘The Last Duel.’ Estonia is featured in ‘Togo‘ and ‘The Painted Bird.’ These diverse settings provide the ideal stage to explore the far-reaching consequences of Martian’s betrayal, heightening the stakes for the characters involved.
