Peacock’s latest prestige release, Black Bag, marks a return to high-stakes storytelling from director Steven Soderbergh. Known for his sharp, stylish films like Contagion and Ocean’s Eleven, Soderbergh’s foray into serialized storytelling with Black Bag delivers a tense, slow-burning espionage drama that’s already drawing critical acclaim.
Set against a backdrop of shifting global alliances and covert missions, the show follows ex-intelligence officer Ethan Kessler (played by Michael Fassbender) who is pulled back into the spy game after a high-profile political assassination. Cate Blanchett plays Charlotte Vale, a formidable intelligence operative with hidden motives, creating electric chemistry and tension as the two navigate a web of secrets, lies, and compromised loyalties.

Black Bag is now streaming on Peacock and is already being hailed as one of the most compelling spy series of 2025.
