Channel 4 is almost ready to serve us up a nice cold slice of fresh spy drama shenanigans.
Traitors, a new thriller series starring Emma Appleton, Keeley Hawes, Michael Stuhlbarg and Luke Treadaway – among others – is a six-part series created by Bash Doran, who’s previously forged a career overseas writing for Boardwalk Empire and Masters Of Sex. She also wrote Outlaw King for Netflix (the one where Star Trek and Wonder Woman star Chris Pine did a questionable Scottish accent, with mixed results).
Here’s the first trailer for you…
And here’s the synopsis…
Traitors is a compulsive spy thriller that takes us behind the scenes of a seismic moment in global history, through the eyes of one young woman caught in the middle of it. An intimate epic set in 1945 London, Traitors is the dangerous, enthralling story of Feef, who is seduced by a rogue American spy into spying on her own country. Her task? To uncover a Russian agent in the heart of the British Government.
Channel 4 hasn’t revealed an air date for Traitors yet. All we’ve heard is the intangible promise of “coming soon”…
