The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2: Everything We Know So Far
All right, operatives: Time for your next mission. More from TVLine Yvonne Strahovski Makes Us Wonder: Did The Handmaid's Tale Finale Hint at a Pairing That Was There All Along? Criminal Minds: The Surprising Story Behind That Shocking Will Scene The Last of Us Season 3: Is Pedro Pascal Gone for Good? Here's What the EPs Say The Agency: Central Intelligence — formerly known as The Agency — is currently in production on Season 2. The Paramount+ series stars Michael Fassbender as Martian, a Central Intelligence Agency agent abruptly pulled out of an extended assignment in Ethiopia. When he's returned to the CIA's London Station, he struggles with his ongoing love for an Ethiopian woman named Sami (played by Jodie Turner-Smith), who didn't know he was a spy… but who has intrigue aplenty of her own. The series is inspired by France's The Bureau. Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth, who wrote and executive-produced Season 1, will be back for the sophomore run. We'll add any and all pertinent information to this post as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, it's your duty to scan the dossier below and get up to speed on the highly addictive spy thriller. Per Paramount+, the Season 2 cast includes Michael Fassbender (who plays Martian), Jeffrey Wright (Henry), Jodie Turner-Smith (Sami), Katherine Waterston (Naomi), Harriest Sansom Harris (Dr. Blake), John Magaro (Owen), Saura Lightfoot-Leon (Danny), Andrew Brooke (Grandpa), India Fowler (Poppy), Reza Brojerdi (Reza), Alex Reznik (Coyote) and Richard Gere (Bosko). As befits its title, there's little intel out now about The Agency: Central Intelligence's second season. But we'll be sure to update this post as soon as our informants hear anything. While Paramount+ hasn't yet released an official Season 2 synopsis, safe to say: Martian will have a lot on his hands when the new season gets underway, thanks to his agreeing to be a double agent for the United Kingdom's MI6. (What else could he do?! He did it to save Sami!) The move surely will sour Martian's relationship with Henry, as Wright noted in an interview with our sister site The Hollywood Reporter. 'Over the course of the first season, there's this relationship, this bond between the two of them that's been established. There's a mutual respect and there's this reciprocal need and trust, but you begin to see a bit of doubt creep in from Henry's perspective,' he said. 'As we go on, we'll begin to explore whether that crack widens and what is revealed inside should be fun.' As of now, there is no official release date for The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2. We'll update this post as soon as we have scheduling information. Production on the show's sophomore run got underway in London in May 2025. No word yet on how many episodes Season 2 will have; we'll update this post when we know. For context: Season 1 of the drama consisted of 10 hour-long episodes. There's no trailer yet for The Agency: Central Intelligence Season 2. But we'll add the video to this post as soon as it becomes available. All episodes of The Agency: Central Intelligence are now streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

"Global South must cooperate against terrorism," says former Ethiopian PM after meeting Indian delegation
Addis Ababa: The all-party delegation led by Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) MP Supriya Sule, met with the former Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn in Addis Ababa late on Friday. The delegation had arrived at Bole International Airport in Ethiopia on Friday, where they were received and welcomed by the Ambassador of India to Ethiopia, Anil Kumar Rai. The delegation also includes Rajiv Pratap Rudy (BJP), Vikramjit Singh Sahney (AAP), Manish Tewari (Congress), Anurag Singh Thakur (BJP), Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu (TDP), Anand Sharma (Congress), V Muraleedharan (BJP), and former diplomat Syed Akbaruddin. The delegation discussed bilateral cooperation, regional development, and the global fight against terrorism. After meeting the all-party delegation, the former Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said, "Terrorism is a global problem and as a global community we need to cooperate and coordinate to fight against terrorism. The African Union has very good regulations as far as fighting terrorism is concerned, and especially when terrorism is state-sponsored, it is a very dangerous one. We need to find a way to fight terrorism... Global South, especially, has to cooperate and be strong in the fight against terrorism." Speaking after the meeting, Sule called the interaction "excellent," lauding Desalegn's five-decade-long engagement with Ethiopia's political and economic landscape. "They have seen a lot of conflict here. They have seen ups and downs in their economy and growth. But under his leadership, they had double-digit growth and many infrastructure projects--be it beautiful dams, railways, industrial parks," Sule noted, drawing parallels between India and Ethiopia's shared developmental aspirations. "We had a detailed discussion and told him what happened in Pahalgam. The attack on India's soul is just not accepted. And we all must commit ourselves to zero tolerance against any terrorism anywhere in the world. India will not accept any terrorist attacks anymore," Sule stressed, underlining the main theme of the delegation's engagements across the region. Sule also welcomed Ethiopia's inclusion in the G20 during India's presidency last year, calling it a significant milestone in India-Ethiopia ties. "It's very important for us to come here today to talk to them. We were very warmly received and reassured that in this journey of eradication of terrorism, Ethiopia still stands together solidly with India," she said. Commenting on Ethiopia's bilateral relations with Pakistan, Sule said that terrorism must be opposed globally, regardless of geopolitical alignments, "I think globally, everybody agrees that there has to be zero tolerance against terrorism. So I think we are very hopeful that when it comes to terrorism, we all stand united, whoever the other country may be, but we will not accept any terrorism anywhere in the world anymore." Meanwhile, echoing similar views, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, a member of the delegation, highlighted the need for decisive action against terror-sponsoring states. "We don't find the difference between terrorist organisations and the states sponsoring terrorism, we see the similarities in them. We will not be restraining ourselves, but for the security of the country, for the safety of the country, we will try to eliminate the threat of this terrorism wherever it is in whichever country that is sponsoring it," he said. The visit, part of India's broader diplomatic outreach following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam and the subsequent Operation Sindoor, aimed to deepen bilateral ties and convey India's firm stance against cross-border terrorism.
