Starring Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire, Andrew Buchan, Adeel Akhtar, Tracey Ullman, Finn Bennett, Luther Ford, Andrew Koji, Kathryn Hunter, Sam Troughton, Ella Lily Hyland, Adam Silver. Ken Nwosu, Gabrielle Creevy, and Omari Douglas, the Black Doves series follows a woman passing along her politician husband’s secrets to the spy organization she works for.
Netflix shared the following about the series:
Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, BLACK DOVES is a sharp, action-filled, and heartfelt story of friendship and sacrifice. It follows Helen Webb (Keira Knightley), a quick-witted, down-to-earth, dedicated wife and mother – and professional spy.
For 10 years, she’s been passing on her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organisation she works for: the Black Doves. When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s old friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) to keep her safe.
Together, Helen and Sam set off on a mission to investigate who killed Jason and why, leading them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy linking the murky London underworld to a looming geopolitical crisis.
Black Doves premieres on December 5th. More photos from the series are below.

What do you think? Are you planning to watch this new Netflix series this December?
That’s a big budget series. Be interesting to see if it gets to a second season.
Lots of good series ended early much to the dismay of their viewership.
I am leaving these new ones well alone until the third season and then start watching.
