Kenya has cemented its place on the global entertainment map, landing a starring role in the second season of Paramount+'s spy thriller, The Agency.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

The acclaimed series, featuring Hollywood heavyweight Michael Fassbender, chose Kenya as one of its key filming destinations, putting the country in front of millions of international viewers.

Production crews were spotted at various locations across the country, with both Nairobi and Kisumu serving as critical backdrops for the CIA-focused storyline.

The show follows undercover operative Martian, played by Fassbender, as he navigates a dangerous mole hunt and a high-stakes international political crisis.

Produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, The Agency is no small production. It sits alongside some of the biggest spy dramas on television right now.

Kenya featured alongside other international filming locations, including studio sets in the United Kingdom and on-location shoots in Morocco, giving it serious global company.

Both seasons of The Agency are currently streaming on Paramount+, meaning Kenya's landscapes are now reaching audiences worldwide from the comfort of their screens.

This is not Kenya's first brush with Hollywood. The 1985 classic Out of Africa , starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, was shot extensively across the Kenyan highlands and wildlife reserves.

That film showcased sweeping savannahs and coffee plantations, helping shape Kenya's identity as a cinematic paradise in the minds of global audiences.

The Constant Gardener , released in 2005, also used Nairobi and its environs to ground its political thriller in an authentic African urban setting.
