While Damian Lewis has made a name for himself in dramatic roles in shows like Homeland and Billions, the actor will star in the new docudrama Damian Lewis: Spy Wars.
“We’re thrilled to have Damian Lewis on History for his first foray into factual television and with the ramping up of intelligence activities on all sides, and renewed tensions between East and West, there can be no better time to explore some of the most iconic spy operations of recent years,” said Dan Korn, VP of Programming at A+E Networks UK.
Spy Wars is a co-production between A+E Networks UK and its parent company, A+E Networks.
According to Deadline, the A+E Network series will tell the unbelievable true stories behind some of the most important international spy operations of the last 40 years.
