I’ve previously described — the spy series regarded as France’s answer to — as one of my favorite of all time. Also, even though titled is in the works, I’m super-excited rather than skeptical about the forthcoming adaptation. Now, though, I’m going to go even further and declare that I actually think actually has a chance to stand alongside the best spy dramas of the past decade once it debuts later this year on Paramount+ With Showtime.
Here’s why my hope springs eternal for this new series. Let’s start with the cast. First, we have Michael Fassbender starring as Martian — he’s described as 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.” This is essentially a tweaked version of the character Malotru from the original series (known as Le Bureau des Légendes in France).
And the cast keeps getting stronger from there. Sign up for the most interesting tech & entertainment news out there. By signing up, I agree to the and have reviewed the Richard Gere has also boarded , in one of the only regular TV roles of his entire career.
He’ll play a character named Bosky, whose official character description identifies him as “the London Station Chief with a storied past after serving as an 8-year undercover.
