Friends star David Schwimmer reprises his role as a pompous, power-hungry NSA agent in an exclusive peek at Intelligence season two, co-starring writer/star Nick Mohammed.
In the brand new one-minute clip, Schwimmer (who recently appeared in the Friends reunion) plays Jerry, while Mohammed plays his desk-mate and bumbling computer analyst, Joseph.
In the teaser, both characters are discussing Valentine’s Day at their newly shared desk in Cheltenham’s Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ).
Joseph has a huge bouquet of red roses at his desk, but Schwimmer’s Jerry seems determined to gift his colleague an additional Valentine’s card (although whether or not Joseph was the original intended recipient remains to be seen…).
“The inspiration [behind the series] was… I’d always wanted to write a workplace sitcom, something that focused on the human side, the minutiae of those daily, quite humdrum interactions that everyone has,” Mohammed previously told RadioTimes.com.
“What I liked about GCHQ was you’ve got this environment where there’s lots of hotdesking and big open-plan offices, but on on this huge backdrop, these big stakes of national security, and then [we’re] involving David’s character, an American coming into that workplace and shaking things up with a different approach.”
Schwimmer said of the show: “I think you’ll find this is the best TV comedy made in the last 200 years. You can’t see my face, but I’m super serious.”
Sky previously ordered a second series of the show before the first was even released.
All episodes of Intelligence 2 will be available from 8th June on Sky One and streaming service NOW. To find out what else is on telly, check out our TV Guide.
