A catalog find rather than a premiere: all ten episodes of The Agency’s second season are available on Paramount+, with any subscription plan, following its June 21 release. The official guide and episode listing verify the US route. Season one is the starting point if it is new to you.

Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright and Richard Gere supply an institutional espionage drama centered on the CIA’s London station. AVForums’ Casimir Harlow finds the second season stronger, emphasizing conversations, surveillance and changes of allegiance; he also finds Fassbender’s early emotional range limited. Adam Sweeting’s Arts Desk review emphasizes the dark pressure. It is a conditional pick for tradecraft and moral compromise, with a substantial commitment and some grim material. Nobody’s viewing history is assumed.
