Deep State centers around Max Easton (Mark Strong, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Zero Dark Thirty, 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, The Night Manager, Rogue One), 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, Game of Thrones, 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. Max enters into a dangerous game as powerful corporations demonstrate that they are willing to go to great lengths to protect their reputation and bury their secrets. With such a strong undercurrent of corruption, who can Max trust? Who is telling the truth? And what must be done to uncover it? To find out, Max is going to have to throw himself back into the dangerous and brutal life he so desperately tried to leave behind.

Deep State features a stellar ensemble cast including the Olivier award winning and BAFTA/Tony nominated actor Mark Strong, Joe Dempsie, Karima McAdams (Vikings), Alistair Petrie, Anastasia Griffith (Damages, Once Upon a Time), Lyne Renée (Split), Amelia Bullmore (Happy Valley), Kingsley Ben-Adir (King Arthur: Legend of The Sword), Pip Torrens (The Crown) and Fares Fares (Tyrant).

Overview

Premiered April 28, 2019 @ 9 PM ET/PT on EPIX

The gripping and prescient espionage drama Deep State is back – with some exciting new cast joining returning favorites in a fresh and riveting storyline. Three U.S. Special Forces are killed in an ambush in Mali. The U.S. are supposedly there to support the Malians in their fight against terrorism. However, all is not as it seems. As the story progresses, we realize that their activity is underpinned by the deep state and forms part of a cover for the new gold rush – the goal to beat China in the race for African natural resources – oil, gas, ore and minerals. It is the first dirty war for clean energy.

Returning from season one are Joe Dempsie (Game of Thrones, Skins), Karima McAdams (Fearless, Vikings), Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, Damages) and Anastasia Griffith (Damages, Once Upon a Time). New cast members to season two are Walton Goggins (Ant-Man and the Wasp, Tomb Raider), Lily Banda (The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind), Victoria Hamilton (The Crown, Doctor Foster), Zainab Jah (Elementary, Homeland) and Alexander Siddig (The Spy, Gotham).
