The six-part series has been written by Bafta winner John Hodge, directed by Emmy winner James Watkins and stars Joe Cole, as iconic spy Harry Palmer.
ITV explains: "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, HarryPalmer will become a spy. And the case on which he cuts his teeth will be The Ipcress File."
The synopsis continued: "Harry's links to the man suspected of kidnapping a missing British nuclear scientist result in him being conscripted for a dangerous undercover mission that takes him from The Beatles’London to the Berlin Wall, from the back alleys of Beirut to the white-hot sands of a nuclear atoll in the Pacific."
ITV's The Ipcress File is based on Len Deighton’s first spy novel of the same name which introduced the iconic British spy Harry Palmer and is set against the backdrop of Cold War Europe.
There was also a film with the lead character being made famous by Michael Caine in the 1965 spy thriller but as already mentioned, Joe Cole is taking on the role of Harry Palmer for the book's latest retelling.
Viewers will best recognise the actor for TV roles including playing Luke in Skins, Sean Wallace in Gangs of London but most notable as being John Shelby in Peaky Blinders. Joe's film roles also include Tommy in Offender, Reece in Green Room, and Billy Moore in A Prayer Before Dawn.
Fans may also know Joe's younger brothers, Finn Cole, who is also an actor and co-starred alongside him in BBC One hit Peaky Blinders as Michael Gray.

Lucy has also starred in a television adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, Law & Order UK, and American comedy-drama The Politician.
Away from screens, the 28-year-old has been dating fellow Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek since 2017.
