Netflix Studios UK are set to release a new 6-part series called Treason. The spy thriller is set to star Daredevil’s Charlie Cox, Olga Kurylenko and Oona Chaplin. Here’s everything we know so far about season 1 of Treason.
The drama was first revealed by Deadline back on December 16th, 2021 who describes the series as The Bodyguard meets John Le Carre.
Netflix Studios UK Limited are the internal Netflix division producing the series alongside ITV Studios, Bryncoed Productions, Borderline Productions, and Binocular Productions.
Let’s now dive into everything else we know about season 1 of Treason.
Who’s involved with Netflix’s Treason?
Matt Charman is spearheading the series at Netflix serving as the creator and screenwriter.
The talented writer and producer has been attached to a number of projects in the past including the Steven Spielberg directed Bridge of Spies from 2015. On the TV side, he’s written on the BBC’s Our Zoo released in 2014, and Black Work released by Acorn TV.
Louise Hooper is on board to direct the series. She’s perhaps best known for the British four-part thriller Flesh & Blood but has also had a hand in series like Inside Number 9, Cold Feet, and Lucky Man.
Hooper has also lent her talents to Netflix’s The Witcher directing both episodes 6 and 7 of season 2. She is also attached to Netflix’s The Sandman directing episodes 10 and 11.

Who is in the cast for Netflix’s Treason?
Charlie Cox is leading the cast of the new series. He’s best known for playing Matthew Murdoch on Netflix’s Marvel superhero series Daredevil which ran for three seasons.
Elsewhere, Cox has appeared in movies such as King of Thieves, The Theory of Everything, and a personal favorite, Stardust.
Olga Kurylenko will also star. The Ukrainian-born actress has recently appeared in Disney’s Black Widow but is also known for roles in the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace and 2013’s Oblivion where she co-starred alongside Tom Cruise.
Oona Chaplin is the last of the three announced stars so far. She’s perhaps best known from The Longest Ride and Game of Thrones as Talisa Stark. Chaplin will also soon be appearing in the numerous James Cameron Avatar sequels

What’s Netflix’s Treason about?
Cox will play Adam Lawrence who is an MI6 agent who seems to have his life in order but has a sketchy past.

When will Netflix’s Treason enter production?
According to multiple production listings, the series is due to begin filming in the United Kingdom (one states the series will film in London) starting at some point in January 2022.
When will Treason be on Netflix?
It’s well too early to tell when Treason will be on Netflix but our best guess is that it won’t be streaming until 2023 at the earliest given.
