Get ready, operatives — the spy game just leveled up.
Season 2 of The Agency: Central Intelligence, Michael Fassbender’s sleek espionage thriller, is heating up production in London and has just added a stacked lineup of genre stars to its already high-profile ensemble. And yes, there’s an exciting NCIS: Los Angeles connection fans won’t want to miss.
🕵️♂️ From Bureau to Battlefield: Season 2 Gets Global
Formerly known as The Agency, the renamed The Agency: Central Intelligence is pivoting hard into the high-stakes world of global espionage. Season 2 promises a wider scope, bigger threats, and a deadlier mission for double agent Martian (played by Fassbender), who’s walking a razor-thin line between duty and desire.
Joining the mission? A cast of characters as deadly as they are mysterious.
✨ New Recruits You’ll Definitely Recognize
Christian OchoaLavernia (The Diplomat, Silo, Halo)
✔️ Cast as Grandma — don’t let the name fool you. This alias belongs to a highly skilled undercover operative joining forces with returning agent Grandpa (Andrew Brooke).
✔️ A natural fit for the role, OchoaLavernia has quietly built an impressive resume in genre storytelling, including Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant and the upcoming In the Grey.
Medalion Rahimi (NCIS: Los Angeles)
✔️ Returning to the spy genre after her standout role as Special Agent Fatima Namazi, Rahimi will play Darya, the politically entangled niece of a powerful Mullah and the girlfriend of antagonist Hassan Zamani.
✔️ Her NCIS: LA fan base will love seeing her back in an international covert ops setting — but this time, she’s playing a more complex game.
Clayne Crawford (Lethal Weapon)
✔️ As Viking, Crawford steps into the role of a wanted man with deep military ties and a dark past.
✔️ Known for his gritty intensity, Crawford brings a crime-drama edge, sharpened from years on Lethal Weapon, Criminal Minds, and NCIS: New Orleans.
Raza Jaffrey (Homeland)
✔️ Cast as Craig, a data analyst entrenched at the CIA’s Iran Desk, Jaffrey adds a layer of intelligence bureaucracy to the expanding chessboard.
Tessa Ferrer (Grey’s Anatomy, Swagger)
✔️ Playing Robyn, a U.S. Air Force nurse stationed in Suffolk, England, Ferrer brings empathy and edge to a role likely to anchor some of the season’s more grounded emotional beats.
🔍 Quick Recap: What’s The Agency: Central Intelligence All About?
Inspired by the French spy drama Le Bureau des Légendes, the show follows Martian, a deep-cover agent whose career is derailed after an abrupt agency pullout. When his former flame Sami (Jodie Turner-Smith) resurfaces, Martian is forced to choose between his duty and the love he thought he lost — putting his entire mission, and his life, at risk.
With Season 1’s finale leaving Martian in a precarious place, Season 2 is poised to dive into uncharted geopolitical territory, filled with betrayals, shifting alliances, and personal vendettas.
🧠 Why This Cast Update Matters
This isn’t just a who’s-who of prestige TV talent. This is a genre-lover’s dream team, pulling talent from critically acclaimed dramas (The Diplomat, Homeland), action hits (Lethal Weapon), and long-running procedural favorites like NCIS: LA.
And the show’s evolution — now with “Central Intelligence” in the title — suggests a deeper dive into global conflicts, layered characters, and moral gray zones that fans of spy thrillers crave.
