George Clooney is making a directing return for his new TV British thriller drama, which will start filming this summer in London.

The Hollywood icon, 62, will be directing the Paramount+ thriller starring fellow actor Michael Fassbender, 47.

London's Belgravia, one of the poshest area of the city, will serve as the stunning location.  

A TV insider told The Sun: 'These rather posh streets will provide the backdrop for the thriller, which sees a spy return home from working in the field only to struggle to readjust to life.

'It's likely to have a similar feel to the TV and movie versions of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which also delved into the world of espionage in London.'

The new thriller show is an adaptation of Eric Rochant's show The Bureau, which was quite a big hit when it was streamed in France from 2015 to 2020.

Residents of the Belgravia's Eaton Square have already been already contacted and offered money compensation to allow them to shoot scenes outside of their homes.

The Ocean's Twelve alum chose to go back to his beloved Britain, as he previously lived in the quiet village of Sonning, Berkshire, with his second wife Amal, 46.

Last year he relocated to France, but it seems England keeps having a special place in his heart.

And stay assured George has his hands full on deck as he juggled filming duties, and just earlier this month he was seen filming his upcoming Netflix film with co-star Isla Fisher.

The Australian actress, 48, was spotted filming for the Noah Baumbach comedy Jay Kelly with George in a wood in Hampshire.

She could be seen smiling as the actor, dressed in a cream linen suit, placed a kiss on her cheek during a take.

The plot details for the new blockbuster have been tightly kept under wraps, but it has been described as a 'funny and emotional coming-of-age film about adults.'

The pair were joined by co-star Patrick Wilson, 50, and the cast also includes Adam Sandler, 57, Laura Dern, 57, Jim Broadbent, 74, and Billy Crudup, 55.

Earlier this month Isla announced her split from her husband Sascha Baron Cohen, 52, days after actress Rebel Wilson, 44, accused the English comedian of harassment.

The Pitch Perfect star made the allegations in her memoir, Rebel Rising, regarding the actor's behaviour on the set of 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby.
