"The Night Manager" star Hugh Laurie is set to join another John le Carré adaptation, BBC and MGM+'s "Legacy of Spies". Filming is currently underway.

The series is written by Stephen Cornwell and Clarissa Ingram.
The ensemble cast includes Matthew Macfadyen as George Smiley, Charlie Hunnam as Alec Leamas, Dan Stevens as Bill Haydon, Daniel Brühl as Josef Fiedler, Devrim Lingnau Islamoğlu as Doris Quinz, Felix Kammerer as Hans-Dieter Mundt, Agnes O'Casey as Liz Gold, Jake Dunn as Peter Guillam, Safia Oakley-Green as Molly Gibson, and Ariyon Bakare as Cy Aflon.
