Fox Networks Group's new spy drama thriller, Deep State, with Mark Strong, will start on FOX in South Africa and Africa on 11 April a week after the United Kingdom.


Fox Networks Group's first scripted drama series for the United Kingdom and Africa, the spy thriller, Deep State will start on FOX (DStv 125 / StarSat 131 / Cell C black 201) on 11 April at 21:00, with the Deep State trailer that remains blocked for Africa and South African viewers although the show has been specifically made for South Africa and Africa as well, as part of the pan-regional territory that Deep State has been commissioned and made for.

Deep State will start on 5 April in the United Kingdom, with actor Mark Strong, known from the Kingsman films, plays Max Easton in Fox Networks Group Europe & Africa's first regional scripted series commission for the Europe and Africa territory.

Deep State is produced by Red Arrow's Endor Productions with 8 hour-long episodes with the story that is set in Britain, the United States, Iran, Lebanon and France.

Fox Networks Group Content Distribution hold the exclusive global distribution rights for the series, working in partnership with FNG Europe & Africa. 


Max is an ex-spy whose past comes back to haunt him as he returns to the field to avenge the death of his estranged son Harry (Joe Dempsie). Max soon discovers there is much more at stake, as he finds himself at the heart of a covert intelligence war and immersed in a widespread conspiracy to profit from the spread of chaos in the Middle East.

Max enters into a very dangerous game, as powerful corporations show that they're willing to do anything to preserve their reputation and bury their secrets.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Deep State to our schedules in April. As FNG’s first regionally scripted commission, Deep State is built on our Hollywood heritage and we’re so proud of what we’ve created alongside the talented team at Endor Productions,” says Jeff Lord, the senior vice president for content development at Fox Networks Group Europe & Africa in a statement.
