10/10 Spy Thriller Finally Returns This Week After 2-Year Wait

Despite behind-the-scenes shake-ups, Paramount+ has continued to expand its library of original programming beyond Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone franchise. The streamer has famously relied a little too heavily on Sheridan’s magnum opus and his several other hit productions over the years. Even as he prepares to end his long-standing partnership with Paramount+ and start anew at NBCUniversal, Sheridan’s Paramount+ shows continue to draw audiences to this day. In fact, as many as four Sheridan titles — Dutton Ranch, Marshals, Yellowstone, and Tulsa King — were on the streamer’s top 10 list this weekend, according to FlixPatrol. That said, the streamer has managed to deliver a handful of popular shows, two of which are awaiting a second season.

MobLand is arguably the most popular of the trio. The British crime thriller saw some turmoil during the recently concluded production of Season 2, when it was reported that star Tom Hardy had been relieved of his services after clashing with a couple of producers on set. This report was quashed a few days later, and official word on his involvement is still awaited. MobLand is expected to return this year for its second season, with plans for a third on the way with or without Hardy. The second on this list is the upcoming true-crime series Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey, starring Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen. The third returning Paramount+ series of this group, however, is just around the corner.

Here’s When the Hit Paramount+ Spy Series Is Returning

We’re talking about the sleek espionage drama The Agency, starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. Created by John-Henry Butterworth and Jez Butterworth — the latter also serves as an executive producer on MobLand — the show aired its 10-episode first season in 2024. It follows a CIA field agent who returns to home base in London while dealing with the fallout of a relationship he began during deployment. The Agency received mostly positive reviews and is now sitting at a 66% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The aggregator website’s consensus reads, “Emphasizing spycraft’s heavy toll to both intriguing and tiresome effect, The Agency situates its all-star cast in a sumptuously-shot world of espionage.”
