Michael-Fassbender-starring spy thriller The Agency has added to its season 2 cast with a number of new faces, Paramount+ has revealed.
Season 2, rebranded The Agency: Central Intelligence, will see the additions of Christian Ochoa Lavernia (Silo), Clayne Crawford (Chad Powers), Keanush Tafreshi (V/H/S/99), Medalion Rahimi (Hacks), Raza Jaffrey (Homeland) and Tessa Ferrer (Swagger) join the cast.
Christian Ochoa Lavernia takes on the role of “Grandma,” an undercover agent with Grandpa. Clayne Crawford is “Viking,” wanted by the CIA in connection with a dangerous military group. Keanush Tafreshi meanwhile is “Hassan Zamani,” the hot-headed son of an Iranian government advisor, while Medalion Rahimi is “Darya,” the niece of a powerful Mullah and Hassan Zamani’s girlfriend. Raza Jaffrey is “Craig,” a data analyst on the Iranian Desk, and Tessa Ferrer is “Robyn,” a United States Air Force nurse in Suffolk, England.
The Agency: Central Intelligence follows Martian (Fassbender), a CIA agent living undercover in his own life. Samia (Turner-Smith), his lover, is a political prisoner in Sudan, and he will do anything to try to save her, even past the point of treachery. The only way out is deeper in — a knife-edge Martian must walk if he is to save love, life, and his mission.
