Celebrate Christmas in a fun and unique way.
Keira Knightley steps into a new genre with her upcoming Christmas espionage thriller, Black Doves, set to premiere on Netflix. In the newly released trailer, the actress sets aside the glamour of period dramas to star in a story packed with action and revenge, where violence seems to be a part of the festive atmosphere.
In this film, directed by the clash of personalities between Knightley and Ben Whishaw, who portray an unconventional duo of spies, tension and British humor blend as they navigate a world rife with bullets and betrayals. Ahead of its anticipated release on December 5, Black Doves has already been renewed for a second season, indicating its great potential to become one of the platform's most acclaimed series.
The plot follows Helen Webb, played by Knightley, a brave spy seeking to avenge the death of her secret lover, murdered under mysterious circumstances. The trailer reveals intense action scenes, where the protagonist doesn't hesitate to confront her enemies, alongside glimpses of the comedic chemistry between the characters portrayed by Knightley and Whishaw. Actress Sarah Lancashire, known for her work in Happy Valley, also adds an air of mystery in the role of Reed, a key figure in the story.
Set against a Christmas backdrop in London, Black Doves tells an exciting tale of friendship and sacrifice. The official synopsis describes Helen as a devoted mother and wife who has been sharing her politician husband's secrets with a secret organization called Black Doves. After the murder of Jason, her lover, her old friend Sam is called in to keep her safe, while both uncover a wide conspiracy linking London's dark underworld to an impending geopolitical crisis.
In addition to Black Doves, Netflix will also introduce Carry-On, another Christmas thriller promising Die Hard-style action, starring Taron Egerton as a TSA agent who is blackmailed into allowing a dangerous package through security on a busy Christmas Eve flight.
