David Holmes and Keefus Ciancia have composed the music for the upcoming BBC America mini-series London Spy. The show is created by author Tom Rob Smith (Child 44) and stars Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent, Charlotte Rampling and Edward Holcroft. The five-parter centers around a chance romance between two people from very different worlds, one from the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service, the other from a world of clubbing and youthful excess. Jakob Verbruggen (The Fall, The Bridge) is directing all five episodes. Smith is also executive producing the project with Juliette Howell (Mary and Martha, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (Rush, Atonement, Les Miserables) for Working Title Television and Polly Hill. London Spy is set to premiere later this year on BBC Two in the UK and on BBC America in the U.S. For updates on the series, visit the official show website.
