A secret agent, deep undercover with an intriguing code name: if you're eagerly awaiting the next serving of James Bond, then The Agency may prove the perfect snack to keep you going.

We say snack – this new Michael Fassbender-starring series plays out over 10 episodes. That's plenty of time to go deep into the story of the star's special agent, alluringly named Martian. As Paramount puts it, we'll see him and his lover embroiled in a dangerous mission "hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage".

In addition to the star of the show, there's plenty more pedigree involved in this must-see mini series. George Clooney, for starters, who serves as a producer. Brothers Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth have penned the script and the likes of Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction), Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey) and Hollywood legend Richard Gere all in front of the camera.

Based on the critically acclaimed French series Le Bureau des Légendes, we’ve got all the info on where to watch The Agency online and stream every episode from anywhere.
