Michael Fassbender says it is becoming harder to know what to trust online

What happens if pretending to be someone else becomes your entire life? It is a question at the heart of many of the biggest spy dramas, from Slow Horses to Black Doves - and it is one that TV thriller series The Agency explores more deeply than most. Returning for a second season, the Paramount+ thriller follows CIA operatives living under deep-cover identities. It examines not just the dangers of espionage, but the psychological cost of maintaining a lie for years. Starring Michael Fassbender, Richard Gere and Katherine Waterston, the series is based on acclaimed French drama The Bureau.
