The Ipcress File 2022 cast revealed for new ITV drama

The Ipcress File has arrived on ITV – here’s a full run down of who’s on the cast.

The first in the Harry Palmer series, The Ipcress File has been adapted by Oscar nominated and BAFTA award winning writer John Hodge into a six-part television series, directed by Emmy award-winner James Watkins and produced by Altitude Television for ITV.

A teaser shares: “Harry Palmer is a British army sergeant on the make in Berlin. In this newly partitioned city, a sharp working-class young man with sophisticated tastes can make a lot of money. Wholesaler, retailer, fixer, smuggler, Harry’s varied interests bring him into contact with everything and everyone – until the law catches up with him and it all comes crashing to a halt.

“Harry finds himself sentenced to eight years in a grim military jail in England, all his prospects abruptly torn away. But his impressive network and efficiency have not gone unnoticed, and a gentleman from British intelligence has a proposal. To avoid prison, Harry Palmer will become a spy. And the case on which he cuts his teeth will be The Ipcress File.”
