Season 2
Spy follows hapless single father Tim (Darren Boyd), whose one aim in life is to get his precocious son Marcus (Jude Wright) to like him.
The first season saw Tim accidentally recruited into MI5, and followed his attempts to balance his secret life as a trainee agent with his chaotic domestic life.
Under the watchful eye of The Examiner (Robert Lindsay), Tim surprised himself by successfully qualifying as a fully-fledged secret agent, although without winning the heart of his colleague Caitlin (Rebekah Staton).
The new season follows Tim as a newly qualified agent as he continues to keep his secret from those closest to him and attempts to win the love of his son.
Spy is created and written by Simeon Goulden. It is a Hat Trick production for Sky 1 HD and is produced by Simeon Goulden and directed by Ben Taylor.
