Netflix has released a teaser and some first look images for their forthcoming espionage action-series Black Doves, which stars Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire as three agents caught up in spy-games set against the backdrop of Christmas in London.
Joining the headline trio in the six-part series are are Andrew Buchan (Carnival Row), Omari Douglas (It’s A Sin), Andrew Koji (Warrior), Kathryn Hunter (Andor), Sam Troughton (Chernobyl), Ella Lily Hyland (Fifteen Love), Adam Silver (The Diplomat), Ken Nwosu (Look the Other Way and Run) and Gabrielle Creevy (In My Skin). Check out the teaser below…
Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, BLACK DOVES is a sharp, action-filled and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down to earth, dedicated wife and mother — and professional spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s old friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) to keep her safe. Together, Helen and Sam set off on a mission to investigate who killed Jason and why, leading them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy linking the murky London underworld to a looming geopolitical crisis.
Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire as you’ve never seen them before.
