CIA is a one-hour crime drama centered on two unlikely partners: a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (Ellis), and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of the CIA’s New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.

“He is someone, like many CIA operatives, who has to operate outside of the rules and outside of the laws,” Ellis shared. “They have to match their opponent’s ability to be deceitful, which means there’s a lot of moral ambiguity for him. It’s a very different approach to what the FBI is, and that’s what we’re exploring. The FBI is a very buttoned-up, do-it-by-the-book approach. And Hart is renegade. I’ll just make it up as I go along, but I want to get this result out of it, slightly dubious character, that’s the alchemy and the fun of what the show should be.”
“They don’t allow Brits in the CIA, apparently,” he joked. “I might go undercover as a Brit at some point in it, but yeah, I am going to be American in it.”
