ITV has commissioned a six-part spy thriller based on The Ipcress File.
The Ipcress File was Len Deighton?s first spy novel introducing the iconic British spy Harry Palmer and set against the backdrop of Cold War Europe. To date the novel has sold 10 million copies worldwide since it was first published in 1962 and was notably adapted into a feature film starring Michael Caine. Now, it?s being turned into a TV series starring Joe Cole (Gangs of London, Peaky Blinders) in the iconic role of Harry Palmer alongside Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody, Murder on the Orient Express) and Tom Hollander (The Night Manager, Birdbox).
Adapted by John Hodge (Trainspotting, T2 Trainspotting) the thriller is set in Berlin and London during the 1960s, with James Watkins (McMafia, Black Mirror, The Woman In Black) directing each of the hour-long episodes.
