Pope departed cable service Charter to take over as president of indie studio Sony Pictures Television, which produces <em>Spy<\/em>. Pope previously bought the show during her time at Charter and now sold it to MGM+ in her new role atop Sony TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Created by Cary,\u00a0<em>Spy\u00a0<\/em>is based on the\u00a0<em>New York Times\u00a0<\/em>best-selling book by Ben Macintyre. The series, produced by Sony and BritBox parent ITV Studios and Veritas Entertainment Group, revolves around the defection of a British intelligence officer and KGB double agent (Guy Pearce, who replaced Dominic West, who was originally in talks for the part) and his relationship with an MI6 friend and colleague (Lewis). The role marks Lewis\u2019 follow-up to Showtime\u2019s <em>Billions<\/em>. Cary, Patrick Spence, Nick Murphy, Chrissy Skinns, Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Peter Jaysen and Lewis exec produce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The series was originally supposed debut this fall first domestically on Spectrum Originals and then to stream on ITVX (which includes the former BritBox). It will launch first on ITVX starting Dec. 8 and then at a date to be determined on MGM+ in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cAlex Cary has brilliantly adapted Ben Macintyre\u2019s historical novel about friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. He, along with Nick Murphy, Damian Lewis, and the remarkable cast led by Lewis and Guy Pearce, have brought to life this riveting tale of two British spies whose deep personal bond and long friendship is challenged by duplicity and deception,\u201d said Michael Wright, head of MGM+. \u201cThis series is emblematic of our new MGM+ brand and the rich, cinematic, and character-driven stories we aim to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    All told, <em>Spy <\/em>is the second Charter series to find a new home stateside. Showtime landed limited series <em>George &amp; Tammy <\/em>after Charter\u2019s demise. That series, starring Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon, was to have aired first on Spectrum and nine months later on Paramount+\/Paramount Network but was moved to Paramount Global\u2019s premium cable network Showtime instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The MGM-controlled Epix will be rebranded as MGM+ starting Jan. 1.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
