1968. LBJ is running out of time. Having abandoned his own re-election campaign, the President turns to the one achievement that might redeem his final months in office: peace in Vietnam. But as the US election tightens, the CIA begins to pick up signs that Nixon’s campaign may be using secret back channels to keep South Vietnam away from the negotiating table. For LBJ, it could destroy his final hope of peace. For Richard Helms and Eloise Page, it is a dangerous collision of espionage, democracy and power. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer, Johnny Flynn and David Duchovny.

America is losing faith in Vietnam. After a major communist offensive shocks the public and exposes the fragility of the war effort, LBJ faces pressure from every side. The generals want more troops. The country wants answers. And inside Washington, the search begins for a strategy that can deliver results without admitting defeat. Into that vacuum steps Bill Colby, played by David Duchovny — the CIA’s Far East chief and one of the Agency’s most important Vietnam specialists. His influence inside the Agency is only beginning. His answer is the Phoenix Program: a plan to identify and dismantle the Viet Cong’s hidden political network across South Vietnam. Colby believes the program can bring order, discipline and better intelligence to a failing war. But in Vietnam, even precision has a cost. What begins as an attempt to understand the enemy will become one of the most controversial operations in the CIA’s history. For LBJ, Phoenix offers the hope of progress. For Colby, it is the making of a career. For the…

The war in Vietnam is no longer happening far away. Images of conflict flood American living rooms and the anti-war movement explodes. LBJ is convinced the protests cannot be truly domestic. Someone must be behind them: Moscow, Havana, perhaps both. He orders Richard Helms and the CIA to find the foreign influence driving unrest at home. But as the Agency moves closer to spying on American citizens, Eloise Page begins to see a different force at work. Not a secret network. Not a Soviet plot. Something much more powerful, sitting in plain sight: television. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn.

Rumours are spreading through the Bolivian jungle: Che Guevara is back. For Washington, the possibility is explosive. The world’s most famous revolutionary may be trying to ignite another insurgency in the Americas — and the CIA cannot afford to let his legend grow. But before they can act, they need proof. Is it really Che? Or another fighter hiding behind the myth? As the Agency trains Bolivian forces for a covert hunt through brutal terrain, Eloise Page and Richard Helms face a delicate mission: find the revolutionary, prove his identity, and stop a symbol from becoming a movement.

Richard Helms has finally reached the top of the CIA. Now he has to prove the Agency deserves to be heard. In Vietnam, the Pentagon insists America is winning. The CIA’s own intelligence tells a darker story: the enemy is larger, stronger and more resilient than Washington wants to believe. LBJ demands evidence, and Helms must stand behind an estimate that challenges everything the military is telling him. But Vietnam is not the only crisis. In the Middle East, tensions between Israel, Syria, Egypt and Jordan are moving towards a confrontation that could pull in the superpowers. As Helms begins his tenure as CIA Director, he faces the hardest task in Washington: telling a President the truth before events outrun him. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn.

Soviet nuclear power is growing, and LBJ wants answers. Inside the CIA, Eloise Page and Richard Helms are trying to bring the Agency into a new age of intelligence: satellites, signals, analysis and serious tradecraft. But Admiral Raborn needs a triumph of his own — something bold enough to impress the President and prove he belongs in the job. His solution is one of the strangest operations in CIA history: a plan to turn a cat into a listening device. As the CIA reaches for the future with satellites and signals intelligence, Raborn searches for a quick success much closer to the ground — with unpredictable results. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn Eloise Page..........Kim Cattrall Lyndon Baines Johnson..........Kelsey Grammer Richard Helms..........Johnny Flynn Young Eloise Page..........Elena Delia Cynthia McKelvie..........Rachael Stirling Bob McNamara..........Rob Benedict Julia Helms..........Julee Cerda Helene Boatner..........Carlyss Peer Desmond Fitzgerald..........Donald Sage…

1965. Richard Helms is the obvious choice to lead the CIA. Experienced, respected and trusted inside the Agency, he appears to be next in line. LBJ has other ideas and instead appoints Admiral William “Red” Raborn — a fellow Texan with almost no intelligence experience. On his first day, a coup erupts in the Dominican Republic, and Raborn is thrown into a crisis he barely understands. As LBJ demands answers and Washington rushes towards military intervention, Eloise Page watches the Agency struggle under a director out of his depth. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn.

1964. At the Pentagon, America’s future in Vietnam is played out in two rooms. The war game is meant to test whether bombing North Vietnam can force a communist retreat. But the simulation points to a devastating conclusion - whatever America does, the North will keep fighting, the Viet Cong will keep being supplied, and the war cannot be won on Washington’s terms. The CIA sees the warning clearly. John McCone tries to make LBJ listen. But the hawks in the administration dismiss the game as theory — and when the Gulf of Tonkin gives them the trigger they need, America steps towards a war the Agency already knows is doomed. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn. Eloise Page..........Kim Cattrall Lyndon Baines Johnson..........Kelsey Grammer Richard Helms..........Johnny Flynn Young Eloise Page..........Elena Delia Robert ‘Bob’ McNamara..........Rob Benedict Desmond Fitzgerald..........Donald Sage Mackay John McCone..........Tim Ahern Peer de Silva..........Ian Porter Barbara…

1964. As British Guiana edges towards independence, Washington fears another communist foothold in the Americas. But the President’s attention is soon caught by a more immediate irritation: Harold Wilson’s new Labour government is pressing ahead with a lucrative export deal to Castro’s Cuba. To London, it is just business. To LBJ, it looks like betrayal. And as the CIA tries to keep one eye on British Guiana, the White House becomes consumed by a row over buses, allies, trade, and what loyalty means in the Cold War. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer, Johnny Flynn and Jason Watkins.

1964. Chile is preparing to vote — and Washington is watching nervously. With the memory of Cuba still raw, LBJ fears another communist foothold in the Americas. Inside Langley, the CIA is told to help deliver the right result before the ballot box produces the wrong one. For Eloise Page, Richard Helms and John McCone, that means money, media, pressure, persuasion — and the fine art of interference without fingerprints. The Agency faces its first major test under President LBJ: how far do you go to protect democracy from itself? Eloise Page..........Kim Cattrall Lyndon Baines Johnson..........Kelsey Grammer Richard Helms..........Johnny Flynn Young Eloise Page..........Elena Delia Desmond Fitzgerald..........Donald Sage Mackay John McCone..........Tim Ahern Helene Boatner..........Carlyss Peer Virginia Hall..........Jennifer Armour Henry Hecksher..........David Menkin Charlie Michaels..........Christopher Ragland Augustin ‘Gus’ Edwards..........Joseph Balderrama Tom Karamessines ..........Akie Kotabe Gerri…

JFK is dead. LBJ is in the White House. And the CIA is about to be dragged into the defining battles of the 1960s. From Chile and British Guiana to Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, the Middle East and the Bolivian jungle, the Agency is fighting communism on every front. But as America turns against the war, the enemy begins to look closer to home. Presidents demand answers. Directors come and go. Richard Helms rises. Bill Colby emerges. Eloise Page watches the CIA embrace satellites, surveillance, covert war — and, in one extraordinary case, the services of a cat. A thrilling new season of the award-winning drama about America’s Central Intelligence Agency, told from the inside out. Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer, Johnny Flynn, Jason Watkins and David Duchovny.

It’s been 12 years since social worker Cassie discovered a mysterious mould in her home, invisible to almost everyone except her. Now the fungus has spread - its glowing spores a major global health threat, infecting the brains of those who inhale them. But many refuse to take seriously a menace they cannot see. When spores erupt at a care home in Wales, Cassie’s son Bryn and 30 residents are exposed to infection. But how could this have happened when just days earlier the building was declared mould-free by a mycelium-sighted Inspector? For Bryn there is only one explanation: not everyone who claims to see the mould can be trusted. But who is this rogue Inspector and why would they lie? In his search for answers, Bryn’s fraught relationship with Cassie will be tested to the limit as they battle to stop the fungus before the looming pandemic can take hold.

A psychological horror story set amid the mysterious world of mycelium.

Mars, 2048. The first settlers, a mix of international workers and the super-rich. And the first unexplained death. When a body turns up in the corridor between a scrappy warehouse and a half-built luxury hotel, no-nonsense Harbourmaster Rita Siddiqui finds herself in charge. With Earth temporarily out of contact and no official law enforcement on Mars, she ropes in Vice Captain Jaz Hickson, a wide-eyed young pilot who’s only just landed. But murder's not their only problem. Atmospheric tests have triggered a dangerous storm. Paranoia grows as the power fails. Lights, gravity, oxygen: everything is at risk. Rita and Jaz must navigate a growing list of suspects, a dwindling supply of patience, and a killer who’s not finished yet. Because even 140 million miles from Earth, people still have secrets. And someone’s willing to kill to keep them. With the hub evacuated, Rita and Jaz are alone. Can they find the murderer in time? Written by Tim Foley CAST RITA SIDDIQUI .....
