Charlie Cox is appearing in a new spy thriller series for Netflix called Treason, and in it, he is playing an MI6 agent who is suddenly chosen to lead the agency after an assassination attempt on his mentor.
Treason is a limited series and the story circles around Adam Lawrence, “trained and groomed by MI6, whose career seems set. But when the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life. A triangular relationship forms between Kara, Adam, and his wife, Maddy; three people who are trying to expose each other’s secrets, and navigate political and diplomatic relationships, whilst hanging onto their personal lives, and those they love most.”
The new show was written and executive produced by Bridge of Spies‘ Matt Charman. Cox is joined in the series by Ciarán Hinds, Olga Kurylenko (Black Widow), and Oona Chaplin (Game of Thrones).
The series is set to be released on December 26th.
