Netflix and AMC Studios have announced a new partnership to co-produce a new spy drama called Bannerman, following the exploits of a former spy. If you're not familiar with the franchise, the show will be based on the series of novels by John R. Maxim, as a charismatic ex-spy named Paul Bannerman finds himself in trouble well after leaving the spy game behind. He tries to live a quiet life, but the past continues to haunt his now-suburban life, endangering his girlfriend and making her father suspicious of him.
It sounds like the show will serve as an adaptation of the five-novel series, but won't be a one-to-one retelling. AMC will be the first to air the show in the US and Canada, with it becoming available on Netflix 90 days after the season finale premieres. The two will jointly premiere each episode in Australia, New Zealand, and Spain, with Netflix being the platform for the rest of the world. We have more details from the announcement below as we now await news on casting, filming, and a potential premiere window.
You Can Never Truly Escape The Spy's Life in Bannerman
Paul Bannerman, a lethal covert operative who convinces a group of the world's deadliest assassins to quit the spy game for a chance to lead normal lives in the suburbs of Connecticut. But old enemies, bad habits, a paranoid government, and an unrelenting ex-cop make retirement their most difficult mission yet.
Craig Silverstein (Nikita, Turn: Washington's Spies, Pantheon, Percy Jackson and the Olympians) will showrun, write, and executive produce Bannerman alongside Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3), who co-wrote the premiere and will direct the first two episodes. Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead, Creepshow, Pulp Fiction, Casino) and Brian Witten (Creepshow) will also serve as executive producers.
