I’m thrilled to join the dynamic and captivating realm of an espionage thriller with such a skilled creative group,” Arterton expressed in a statement. “Working with Tom Bradby, Jemma Kennedy, James Marsh, and Potboiler Productions’ exceptional team promises to be a truly exhilarating experience.

The story revolves around Kate Henderson (Arterton), a seasoned MI6 agent who appears to live an ordinary life as a civil servant married to Stuart (Spall) with two teenage kids.
