Rueben's Ramblings

On June 17, the new EPIX drama Deep State will air at 9 PM.

The 8-episode drama centers around Max Easton (Mark Strong from Kingsman: The Golden Circle), an ex-spy whose past comes back to haunt him when he’s summoned away from his new life in the Pyrenees by George White (Alistair Petrie from The Night Manager), head of covert MI6/CIA team “The Section.” White convinces Max to return to the field to avenge the death of his estranged son Harry (Joe Dempsie from Game of Thrones and Skins).

But the stakes are soon raised when Max finds himself at the heart of a covert intelligence war, immersed in a widespread conspiracy to profit from the spread of chaos in the Middle East. The cast also includes Anastasia Griffith (Damages and Once Upon a Time).

Here is a trailer for and a behind the scenes look at Deep State:
