The show premiered that same day as a market launch, and those first agreements give Honey<\/strong> an early commercial boost while Fifth Season continues shopping it across North America, much of Europe, and Asia.<\/p>\n\n

Made for BBC iPlayer<\/a><\/strong> and BBC One alongside Germany\u2019s ZDF, the series takes place in East Berlin in 1982. At the center is Martha, a 24-year-old MI6 agent caught up in counterespionage and a love triangle involving a CIA operative and a Stasi spymaster. Writer Emma Moran has described the pitch as romance colliding with spy drama, shot through with dark comedy, emotion, and Cold War paranoia.<\/p>\n\n

If you keep up with prestige spy series, this one has a lot going for it. Ann Skelly<\/strong>, Nate Mann, Jannis Niew\u00f6hner, and Rory Kinnear lead the cast. It comes from Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films. And while Martha has ties to the larger Carolyn Martens universe, the creative team says Honeyisn\u2019t a direct prequel.<\/p>\n\n

In the UK, Honey will air on BBC iPlayer<\/strong> and BBC One. Outside the UK, it\u2019ll roll out first on the platforms tied to those newly announced buyers.<\/p>\n
