The Agency (2001 TV series)

The Agency is an American action-spy television series that followed the inner-workings of the CIA. The series was aired on CBS from September 27, 2001, until May 17, 2003, lasting two seasons.

The series, which premiered soon after the 9/11 attacks, was created by Michael Frost Beckner and was executive produced by Beckner, Shaun Cassidy Productions, and Radiant Productions in association with Universal Network Television and CBS Productions. The program was allowed unprecedented access to the actual CIA headquarters, thanks to a partnership that began in 1996 when the CIA hired one of its veteran clandestine officers, Chase Brandon, to work directly with Hollywood studios and production companies influence its public image.
