Spy story

BBC is creating the first onscreen adaptation of John Le Carre’s spy classic The Spy Who Came in from the Cold’. The creators of the BBC1 hit series The Night Manager are to adapt another of the 85-year-old author’s popular books.

The show will be another co-production with US network AMC, following the huge success of the previous crime drama mini-series starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman.

Of seeing a new version on screen, Le Carre said, “I’m very excited about the project and have great confidence in the team.” — ANI
