Actor Hugh Laurie is set to star in "Legacy of Spies," a significant new adaptation of John le Carré's acclaimed novels. The series, a major production by the BBC and MGM+, is currently filming, with Laurie's specific role to be revealed soon. This casting places Laurie in the unique position of appearing in two distinct adaptations of le Carré's stories that are expected to be released around the same time.
"Legacy of Spies" draws from the classic 1963 novel "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" and the more recent "A Legacy of Spies." The ensemble cast includes Matthew Macfadyen as George Smiley and Dan Stevens as Bill Haydon. Laurie previously portrayed Richard Roper in "The Night Manager," another successful adaptation of le Carré's work, for which he also served as an executive producer. The Ink Factory, led by le Carré's sons, is producing the series.
