British actress Keira Knightley says her new series "Black Doves" stands out for its tongue in cheek take on the world of espionage.

A group of operatives working for private espionage organizations attempt to prevent an international incident around the holidays, in a six-episode drama created by Joe Barton ('Giri/Haji').

Knightley and co-star Ben Whishaw are a crackling team in the addicting new spy series—which boasts a Yuletide theme for unconventional holiday season viewing.

The actress stars alongside Ben Whishaw in this Netflix series about a secret operative whose lover is assassinated.

Starring Keira Knightley as Helen Webb, a normal mother and wife who happens to be a professional spy, the limited series is set against the backdrop of London at Christmas, according to Netflix's description.

Keira Knightley didn’t have an extensive background in the world of espionage before taking on the role of a wife, mother and spy in the new Netflix series “Black Doves.” That didn’t stop her from relating to the character because of the years Knightley has spent as an actress and a mom.
