Genre veterans join Michael Fassbender in high-stakes spy drama
As production ramps up in London, Season 2 of The Agency: Central Intelligence is pulling no punches in its mission to expand the show’s international spy thriller universe. The Michael Fassbender-led series—formerly titled The Agency—has recruited an exciting wave of new cast members with serious spy drama cred, including stars from The Diplomat, NCIS: Los Angeles, Lethal Weapon, and Homeland.
Among the most notable additions:
-
Christian Ochoa Lavernia (The Diplomat, Silo, Halo) joins the series as a new series regular in the role of Grandma—an alias for an undercover operative now working alongside Grandpa (Andrew Brooke), the field agent hot on Martian’s trail in Season 1.
-
Medalion Rahimi, known for her role as Fatima Namazi in NCIS: LA, will recur as Darya, the politically connected girlfriend of Hassan Zamani and niece of a powerful Mullah.
-
Clayne Crawford (Lethal Weapon) plays Viking, a dangerous figure with ties to a rogue military outfit.
-
Raza Jaffrey (Homeland) is Craig, a data analyst embedded in the Iran Desk.
-
Tessa Ferrer (Swagger) portrays Robyn, a U.S. Air Force nurse stationed in Suffolk, England.
The additions bring a fresh layer of complexity and danger to The Agency: Central Intelligence, which is inspired by the acclaimed French spy drama Le Bureau des Légendes. Returning stars for Season 2 include Jodie Turner-Smith, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, John Magaro, and Saura Lightfoot-Leon.
What’s Next for Agent Martian?
Season 1 followed Fassbender’s Martian, a double agent whose covert identity is blown wide open by the intelligence bureau. Things get even more complicated with the reappearance of Sami (Jodie Turner-Smith), Martian’s former love interest. Season 2 promises deeper intrigue as Martian risks everything to protect her—navigating betrayal, loyalty, and shifting alliances.
Why This Cast Matters
The addition of actors like Rahimi and Ochoa Lavernia, who’ve already proven their mettle in political and action thrillers, indicates that The Agency: Central Intelligence is going all-in on global stakes and complex character drama. Fans of espionage series like 24, Jack Ryan, and Bodyguard will feel right at home here.
Still No Release Date, But Anticipation Builds
With filming ongoing and a deeper dive into high-stakes geopolitics on the horizon, The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated thrillers of the year. Stay tuned as we await an official release date—and prepare for Martian’s next move in the international spy game.
