John Le Carré’s legendary British Cold War spy George Smiley, last seen on screens in the acclaimed film “Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy’ (played by Gary Oldman, coincidentally now starring as another fictitious agent in “Slow Horses”), has finally returned.

In the first image from BBC and MGM+ upcoming espionage thriller series “Legacy of Spies,” two-time Emmy and BAFTA winner Matthew Macfadyen appears in the iconic role. In another image, Charlie Hunnam is seen as the embattled, world-weary agent-runner and field operative Alec Leamas.
