THE IPCRESS FILE
Director: James Watkins
Production: Altitude Television, ITV Studios, Liverpool Film Office
In this six-part TV drama series, ex-smuggler turned reluctant spy Harry Palmer finds himself at the centre of a dangerous undercover mission, on which he must use his links to find a missing British nuclear scientist. Adapted by Len Deighton’s bestseller of the same name, The Ipcress File stars Joe Cole (Gangs of London, Peaky Blinders) as Harry Palmer, Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody, Murder on the Orient Express), Tom Hollander (The Night Manager, Birdbox) and Ashley Thomas.
The Ipcress File was released on ITV in March 2022, with episode one premiering in the US and Canada on AMC+ in May.
The Ipcress File OST is available now on all platforms.
The Film Scorer: “The John Barry comparisons are inevitable, especially given its general 60s vibe, but I assure you: Tom makes The Ipcress File completely his own.”
The Guardian: “Cole is a Harry Palmer for our times. Imagine Stephen Merchant was a foot shorter and appropriated Damian Lewis’s pout. Imagine too that he is as taciturn as Alan Ritchson playing Jack Reacher.”
Collider: “…definitely a show that'll have you waiting with bated breath every week for the next thrilling episode.”
