* Alana Hawley Purvis (Charmed) as Amanda Fern, a stern and by-the-book CIA Station Chief in Seoul who is resistant to taking any instruction from a CIA operative
According to Netflix, the show’s second season finds Owen “pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency.”
