Watch The Agency full HD Free

CBS's The Agency followed the CIA's inner workings. The series was conceived by Michael Frost Beckner and produced by Universal Network Television and CBS Productions. Two seasons ran from September 27, 2001 through May 17, 2003. Unprecedented filming from CIA headquarters. The show was contentious for exploring foreign issues and intelligence ethics. Beckner's March 2001 pilot script imagined a re-invented CIA entrusted with a "War on Terror" as Al Qaeda plots a lethal attack on the west. The pilot planned to premiere at CIA Headquarters on September 18, 2001 and telecast on CBS on September 21, 2001, but the 9/11 events forced the network to delay it. First episode became third episode of first season. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks transformed how Americans viewed topical entertainment, and "The Agency" was a popular show at the time. The show's producers swiftly responded to this new American perspective on foreign affairs, but CBS canceled it after the second season's finale.
