While fans of Netflix's flashy spy series The Recruitwould love to see star Noah Centineo play the next James Bond, English actor James Norton is the current frontrunner. As of mid-February 2025, Oddschecker has Norton and Aaron Taylor-Johnson tied with the shortest betting odds to play 007 in Bond 26, with each given a 5/2 chance of winning the role. However, once Bond producers and casting agents see Norton in the underrated spy drama Rogue Agent, Norton's odds could increase considerably.
Released in 2022, Rogue Agent stars Norton as a conniving criminal who tricks the world into believing he is a top-ranking MI5 agent. Although he is not, Norton's performative ability to convince those around him that he's a skilled spy only bolsters his chances of proving his James Bond bona fides. Meanwhile, those drawn to The Recruit's stylish implausibility will enjoy Rogue Agent's extreme twists and turns.

James Norton has a solo trip to Japan booked for mid-January, but the actor can’t seem to get the time away from work.
“I keep having to delay the flights,” the British star confesses to The Hollywood Reporter. At the time of writing, he is shooting House of Guinness, a new Netflix series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight detailing the birth of the Irish stout empire. “It’s Steven firing on all cylinders,” Norton teases about the tightly-under-wraps show. “He’s having the time of his life. You can tell he’s loved writing it because it’s just so fun and powerful. It’s sexy and smoky. Even in the [script], you can taste the soot and the beer and the sweat.”

Happy Valley has more than made its mark on British crime drama. Written by Sally Wainwright, the show involved all that could ever be hoped for from such a TV show. The acting was authentic, every episode had a purpose, and viewers were kept on edge the whole time. What separates Happy Valley from other shows is how realistic it is, delving into the grit and turmoil of the life of a heroic police officer who had her own life to deal with.
The writing was exquisite throughout, and a phenomenal cast was put together to do justice to Wainwright's work. The heroes in the story gave viewers reasons to be hopeful, while the villains made every day difficult for them. The cast deserves recognition and accolades that represent their outstanding work.

Exclusive: CAA has signed Tony and Olivier-Award winning director Ivo van Hove in all areas.
Belgian-born van Hove has built a reputation for experimental revisions of Hollywood and Broadway classics including Broadway revival productions of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, for which he received a Tony Award and a Laurence Olivier Award, and The Crucible as well as Lee Hall’s Network (starring Bryan Cranston and Tatiana Maslany), All About Eve (with Gillian Anderson in the Bette Davis role) and Stephen Sondheim’s West Side Story.
Last year, van Hove teamed with John Wells to develop Doll at Warner Bros. Television. The project is described as a psychological thriller series set in the ruthless world of a modern music conservatory. The former’s artistic collaborator, Jan Versweyveld, was set to serve as production and lighting designer on the project, which marks the duo’s first foray into scripted television.
