The trailer for Netflix's upcoming thriller series The Spy paints Sacha Baron Cohen in a new, dramatic light, and judging by this two-minute preview, he shines.
The Spy stars Cohen as Eli Cohen, an Israeli government clerk who has been tasked with taking on a second identity, entering Syria, and spying on behalf of Mossad (the Israeli intelligence agency) in the '60s. He'll do anything for his country, but the double life is taking its toll on his family and his own mental health. The series is inspired by real-life Mossad agent Eli Cohen.
The Spy arrives on Netflix on Sept. 6.
