Any fan who loads up Paramount+ will be bombarded with a mountain of Taylor Sheridan-produced content, such as The Madison (starring Kurt Russell) and Marshals (starring Luke Grimes). Sheridan has become a Godfather figure of Paramount+ content before he leaves the studio for good at the end of 2028, but there are plenty of other popular titles to watch, completely unrelated to the Yellowstone scribe. One of the most popular movies on Paramount+ at the time of writing is Top Gun: Maverick, the 2022 legacy sequel starring Tom Cruise and Miles Teller. Steven Spielberg, director of Disclosure Day, even went as far as to say he felt like Top Gun: Maverick saved Hollywood after the film grossed over $1.4 billion at the global box office.
Paramount+ has become a big enough streaming service — over 75 million subscribers — that it must have enough content to please fans of all genres. For fans of the morally ambiguous spy thriller, Paramount presents The Agency, which features big stars like Michael Fassbender and Jeffrey Wright. The first season of The Agency premiered back at the end of 2024 alongside the first season of Landman, but it still went toe-to-toe with Sheridan’s oil drama Goliath at the top of streaming charts. It took some time, but Paramount finally brought back The Agency over the weekend, albeit in quite a different fashion than when the show first debuted for Season 1. New episodes of* The Agency* Season 1 were released weekly, but Paramount dropped all 10 installments of The Agency Season 2 on Sunday, alongside the premiere of HBO’s House of the Dragon. This new method has worked out for Paramount, though, as The Agency is already climbing streaming charts.
Six actors. One role. Your answers point to the Bond who shares your presence, your method, and your particular way of carrying the weight of being the most dangerous person in the room.
You are the original — and you carry that fact without needing to announce it. There is an authority in the way you occupy a room that others spend careers trying to replicate.
You understand something that more serious people miss: that wit is its own form of intelligence, and that making people laugh is not a retreat from danger but a way of mastering it.
You took the role seriously when everyone wanted you to coast — and that refusal to take the easy version of anything is the most defining thing about you.
You are the complete package — and you know it, which is part of what makes you so effective and occasionally so infuriating to the people around you.
You stepped into something enormous with less preparation than anyone around you thought was sufficient — and you delivered something genuine anyway, which is the more impressive achievement.
You stripped everything back and found what was underneath — and what was underneath was harder, more honest, and more human than anyone expected.
At the time of writing on June 22, Paramount has yet to decide the fate of The Agency beyond Season 2. This decision will depend on a few factors, such as whether the creative team behind the show, including writers John-Henry and Jez Butterworth, is interested in doing another season. If the duo, along with the cast, have the desire to do another season, Paramount will then have to weigh the cost of a potential Season 3 vs. the projected viewership based on the first two seasons. The show is the perfect watch for Mindhunter fans, who enjoy a slower and more methodical chase for dangerous criminals.
Check out the first two seasons of The Agency on Paramount Plus and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the show.
