The Agency is based on The Bureau, a French television series that was created by Éric Rochant. The Bureau originally aired in France in April 2015 before it came to the United States in June 2016. The series ran for five seasons and starred Mathieu Kassovitz, Sara Giraudeau, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, and Léa Drucker.
“Based on real accounts and inspired by contemporary events, this French spy thriller follows the daily lives and missions of members of the country’s external security service — France’s equivalent of the CIA,” the synopsis for The Bureau reads. “It focuses on intelligence officer Guillaume Debailly, code-named ‘Malotru,’ who is mysteriously recalled to Paris after spending six years undercover in Syria. As he tries to reconnect with his daughter, ex-wife, and colleagues, Debailly risks everything by resuming contact with his married lover, Nadia, who might have secrets of her own that jeopardize the agent.”
