After the wild and intriguing ride of The Agency: Central Intelligence season 1, there’s no doubt that we’re ready for the second season. While filming is still ongoing, there’s some news that has us even more excited for the stories that are coming our way. After all, the cast list is growing in the best way possible.
Michael Fassbender is, of course, set to return to The Agency season 2. Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, and so many others involves in the first season, including Richard Gere, are also set to come back. Now we get more stars joining the fray, and with this calibre, we’re expecting greatness.
6 stars will join The Agency season 2
Christian Ochoa Lavernia from Silo will join the series as a series regular, according to Deadline. He will play “Grandma,” an undercover agent working with Grandpa. Will we ever get to learn his real name? Well, that’s the joys of the undercover gig, and this show has been pretty good bringing us a lot of questions about the people working undercover.
Clayne Crawford (Chad Powers), Keanush Tafreshi (V/H/S/99), Medalion Rahimi (Hacks), Raza Jaffrey (Homeland), and Tessa Ferrer (Grey’s Anatomy) will join the series in recurring roles. They’ll play the following:
Crawford is Viking, part of a dangerous military group and wanted by the CIA
Rahimi is Darya, Hassan Zamani’s girlfriend and the niece of a powerful Mullah
Jaffrey is Craig, an Iran Desk data analyst
Ferrer is Robyn, a U.S. Air Force nurse based in Suffolk, England
Filming of The Agency: Central Intelligence season 2 is still happening
The great news is that filming is still ongoing. All filming is taking place in and around London, England, so if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to get some snapshots of it.
Based on the French series Le Bureau des Legendes, the series follows Martian (Fassbender), who is a covert CIA agent. After years of being undercover, he’s ordered to abandon it all and return to the London Station, where he is able to return to the love of his life.
Of course, this is the world of espionage and spy work. There is no real escape from undercover work, whether it’s mentally or someone showing up from the past. The benefit for Martian is that he’s working with the CIA still, but could that cause more problems for his love life? What about his own safety?
The Agency is available to stream on Paramount+ with Showtime.
