THE SPY: Netflix Releases New Trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen Drama

Sacha Baron Cohen is taking a serious turn for his new Netflix limited series.

In 60s-set THE SPY, “Israeli clerk-turned-secret agent Eli Cohen goes deep undercover inside Syria on a perilous, years-long mission to spy for Mossad,” the streaming platform teases. Cohen plays Cohen, “a man who wants nothing more than to be of service to his country, but he does his job so well that he finds it hard to strip off his double identity. Noah Emmerich (The Americans) plays Dan Peleg, Eli’s Mossad handler who tries to ease his own guilt over the sacrifices Eli makes, Hadar Ratzon Rotem (Homeland) portrays Eli’s wife, Nadia, who is left to raise their family on her own and knows something isn’t right about her husband’s government job, and Waleed Zuaiter (Colony) plays Amin Al-Hafez, a military officer who thinks he’s found the perfect ally in the undercover Cohen.” The series is written/directed by Gideon Raff.
