Enter the thrilling world of MI-5-– known to insiders simply as ‘Five’ – the clandestine security service and the people who make up the elite team.

They tackle organized crime, terrorist activities, embassy sieges, weapons proliferation and anarchists, not to mention the conflicts and power struggles back in the office. MI-5 is a topical and edgy drama about passion, jeopardy and the intrigue of people who have to lie for a living and who have to deceive their loved ones about what they do.

Agent Tom is struggling to keep his work life hidden from new girlfriend Ellie and her daughter Maisie – something which is proving even more difficult as he begins to realize he is falling in love with Ellie.

Zoe and Danny, high-flying junior members of the team, are trying to make a name for themselves in the complex and cynical environment that surrounds the security service.

“A highly compelling, adrenaline-charged action drama of great complexity... an intriguing thrill ride...fast and unrelenting... refuses to let us off the hook.” Hollywood Reporter
