Need another of these series to add to your to-watch list? Read on for everything you need to know about the upcoming Showtime series The Agency. 

Paramount+ Showtime subscribers will be the first to watch The Agency!

New episodes will be released first to Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers. The Agency will premiere there starting Nov. 29, with its first two episodes followed by one weekly episode. If you are not currently subscribed to Paramount+ with Showtime, no worries! You'll just need to wait a couple of more days to watch as the episodes will air on Showtime starting on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 10 p.m. ET. Confused? We break it down for you below.

The 2024 year may be coming to a close here soon, but there are still great shows up ahead. At the top of our list is The Agency, an espionage thriller that is based on the French series Le Bureau des Legendes (which translates to “The Legends Bureau”) created by Eric Rochant. The upcoming series is expected to be a modern, fresh take. The Agency’s star-studded cast includes Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, Jodie Turner-Smith, Katherine Waterston, and John Magaro. 

Honestly, you had me at Michael Fassbender. The last series the actor starred in was the documentary Michael Fassbender: Road to Le Mans, so I’m excited to see him take over the screen again. Showtime is also one of my favorite networks as they are known for their brilliant, clever stories. 

The Agency will follow a spy agency in charge of training some of the best undercover agents in the business. Specifically, these agents take on long-term missions that require one to live under different identities for several years. Check out the exciting trailer below:
