The spy games continue for Michael Fassbender, as the actor’s TV show The Agency is preparing for a second season. Following the thrilling end to the mission in The Agency season 1, we’re eagerly awaiting what is next in line for The Agency season 2.

The Agency is based on the hit French TV drama Le Bureau des Legendes, with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth adapting it for US TV. The show quickly earned its second season renewal after becoming the most streamed new series in Showtime history, so there are plenty of fans who, like us, will be looking forward to new episodes.

Here’s everything we know about The Agency season 2 right now.

The Agency season 2 release date

The Agency season 1 wrapped in January 2025, and at this time we don’t have any info on a release date for The Agency season 2.

However, according to The Wrap, production on The Agency season 2 has begun, so the show is inching closer to a return.

We’ll update this page as news about The Agency season 2 premiere plans are announced.

If you want to catch up with The Agency season 1, you can stream the show on Paramount Plus with Showtime in the US and Paramount Plus in the UK and elsewhere.

The Agency season 2 cast

Most of the team from The Agency cast is set to return for season 2. That is headline by Michael Fassbender, but also includes Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, Katherine Waterston, Harriet Sansom Harris, John Magaro, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, Andrew Brooke, India Fowler, Reza Brojerdi, Alex Reznik and Richard Gere.

The Agency season 2 plot

We don’t have any details on The Agency season 2 plot at this time. However, with how The Agency season 1 ended we can make some inferences about where the storyline could be heading (SPOILERS ahead).

Season 1 hinged on two main storylines — the mission to rescue Coyote and Martian’s relationship with Sami. Well, the Coyote mission was successful, so that storyline is wrapped up. Things are more complicated with Sami.

As Martian searched for a way to save Sami after being taken by Osman, he is approached by Richardson with a risky proposal — become a double agent, spying on the CIA for MI6, in order to help save Sami. While Martian is initially reluctant, by the end of the season we see that he takes on this new arrangement. How Martian handles his new role we have to assume is going to be a critical part of the next season.

Elsewhere, we should expect to see more of Danny on her mission in Tehran. Anything else we’ll just have to wait and see.
