The series has 16 episodes and runs for eight hours. Higson also appears as Michael Merriot, a classics tutor at Eton who becomes a mentor to the young, orphaned Bond.

The next film remains undated
Amazon is working on a new James Bond movie, written by Steven Knight and directed by Denis Villeneuve. The studio has not announced a release date. The film will likely begin shooting next year and could arrive in 2028. Fans are also anticipating the announcement of Daniel Craig’s replacement as 007, which could come as soon as this week.

Game success adds momentum

IO has confirmed that a sequel continuing Bond’s story is in development, but has not said when it will be released. The last 007 film came out almost five years ago.
