Netflix has set the global premiere date for Black Doves, a new spy thriller series starring Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire. Check out the teaser.
Created and written by Joe Barton (Giri/Haji, The Lazarus Project), Black Doves is an action-filled spy thriller starring two-time Oscar® nominee Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game, Pride & Prejudice), Primetime Emmy® winner Ben Whishaw (A Very English Scandal, This is Going to Hurt), and two-time BAFTA winner Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax).
Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, the six-part series follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down-to-earth, dedicated wife and mother — and a professional spy. For ten years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organization she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover, Jason, is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s old friend, Sam Young (Ben Whishaw), to keep her safe.
Sam is a suave, champagne-drinking assassin. But having been out of the game since a failed job with disastrous consequences, he’s come home to a London that’s moved on without him. As his past threatens to catch up with him, Sam’s task is to protect Helen as she investigates who killed Jason and why. Together, they set off on a mission that will lead them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy — one that links the murky underworld of London to a looming geopolitical crisis — and to question the cost of the moral choices they’ve made.
Black Doves, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Thursday, December 5, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
Costars in the series include Andrew Buchan (Carnival Row) as Wallace Webb and Andrew Koji (Warrior) as Jason, along with Kathryn Hunter (Andor), Sam Troughton (Chernobyl), Ella Lily Hyland (Fifteen Love), Adam Silver (The Diplomat), Ken Nwosu (Look the Other Way and Run), Gabrielle Creevy (In My Skin), Tracey Ullman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Omari Douglas (Rye Lane), amongst others.
