And here is a synopsis, courtesy of Channel 4’s previous press bumf…
“Traitors is a compulsive spy thriller that takes us behind the scenes of a seismic moment in global history, through the eyes of one young woman caught in the middle of it. An intimate epic set in 1945 London, Traitors is the dangerous, enthralling story of Feef, who is seduced by a rogue American spy into spying on her own country. Her task? To uncover a Russian agent in the heart of the British Government.”
The series was produced by Twenty Twenty Productions for Channel 4 and Netflix. Eleanor Moran, Rory Aitken, Emma Willis, Tim Carter and Bash Doran are executive producing, with Rhonda Smith producing.
