The first trailer for the upcoming spy thriller, The Spy, features lead Sacha Baron Cohen in a completely different light.
Netflix has released the first look at the limited series from Homeland’s Gideon Raff. The six-episode series is based on a true story and follows the Israeli clerk-turned-Mossad-agent Eli Cohen, as he goes undercover in Syria.
Cohen’s character is “a man who wants nothing more than to be of service to his country, but he does his job so well that he finds it hard to strip off his double identity,” Netflix said.
“Taking off the clothes doesn’t work anymore; I can’t put him away,” says Cohen in the trailer.
The Spy also stars Noah Emmerich (The Americans), Hadar Ratzon Rotem (Homeland) and Waleed Zuaiter (Colony).
