How to watch The Agency in the UK
Michael Fassbender leads an all-star cast in this new political thriller.
When it comes to TV thrillers, you don't find them much starrier than new series The Agency, which is led by Michael Fassbender.
The show's cast also features Jodie Turner-Smith, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, Katherine Waterston, Dominic West and Hugh Bonneville, and it follows a deep-cover CIA operative who is recalled back to his London base, but is pulled back into his old life when the love he left behind reappears.
The series has been executive produced by George Clooney and is co-written by brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, so it's fair to say it's generating some serious buzz.
But how can viewers in the UK watch the series and when is it being released?
Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch The Agency.
How to watch The Agency
The Agency will stream on Paramount Plus both in the US and internationally - however, there will be a slight disparity in the dates upon which the episodes will arrive.
While the first two episodes will stream on Paramount Plus in the US from Friday 29th November, fans in the UK will have to wait until Saturday 30th November to watch them.
This will continue for the rest of the series. While US episodes following this will be released on Sundays, the UK will get each new instalment on a Monday.
The Agency release schedule
While the first two episodes will be released at once on Paramount Plus, on Saturday 30th November for viewers in the UK, the series will subsequently switch to weekly releases, with new episodes arriving on Mondays.
This means there will be a longer-than-usual break between the first two episodes and the third instalment.
