Guy Pearce and Damian Lewis' British Spy Series A SPY AMONG FRIENDS Gets a Trailer
MGM+ has released a thrilling trailer for an upcoming British spy series titled A Spy Among Friends. The series stars Damian Lewis (Billions) and Guy Pearce (Iron Man 3), and it tells the “epic true story of Kim Philby, the Cold War's most infamous spy, from the 'master storyteller' and author of Prisoners of the Castle."
It looks like this series tells a captivating story. I enjoy watching spy thrillers and this one looks like it’s going to be a good one! The UK mini-series also stars Anna Maxwell Martin, Adrian Edmondson, Stephen Kunken, Nicholas Rowe, and Anastasia Hille.
Based on the best-selling book written by Ben Macintyre, “the six-episode series dramatizes the true story of Nicholas Elliott and Kim Philby, two British spies and lifelong friends. Philby was the most notorious British defector and Soviet double agent in history. This is a story of intimate duplicity, loyalty, trust, and treachery. Philby’s deeply personal betrayal, uncovered at the height of the Cold War, resulted in the gutting of British and American Intelligence.”
A Spy Among Friends was created by writer Alexander Cary (Lie to Me, Homeland, Legends, Taken), and the episodes of the show were directed by Nick Murphy (The Last Kingdom, A Christmas Carol, The Awakening). A Spy Among Friends will be released on MGM+ starting on March 12th, 2023.
