The Paramount+ With Showtime drama The Agency is continuing to build up its cast.

Currently filming in London, The Agency centers on Martian (Fassbender), “a covert CIA agent who’s ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London station,” per the show’s logline. “When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites.

Harris (Hacks, Frasier) will play Dr. Blake, a behavioral psychologist assigned to the agency. Fowler (The Nevers) plays Martian’s teenage daughter, Poppy. Lightfoot-Leon (Masters of the Air) plays Danny, a promising agent trainee.
