Black Doves

Black Doves is streaming now on Netflix.

Set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, the world of Black Doves follows Knightley’s Helen, a quick-witted, down-to-earth, dedicated wife and mother — and professional spy. For 10 years, she’s been passing her politician husband’s secrets to the shadowy organization she works for: the Black Doves.

When her secret lover Jason (Andrew Koji) is assassinated, her spymaster, the enigmatic Reed (Sarah Lancashire), calls in Helen’s old friend Sam (Whishaw) to keep her safe. Together, Helen and Sam set off on a mission to investigate who killed Jason and why, leading them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy linking the murky London underworld to a looming geopolitical crisis.
