Legends is a 2026 British action-thriller series directed by Brady Hood, following a deep-cover FBI operative who can shed his identity as easily as a costume — until a stranger forces him to question whether any of his identities are real.
What is Legends about?
Martin Odum works for the FBI's deep-cover unit, able to inhabit entirely fabricated personas for each assignment — different name, backstory, mannerisms, and life. He is extraordinarily good at disappearing into other people. But when an anonymous figure surfaces with a disturbing claim — that Martin himself may not be who he believes — the operative who lives by deception finds that the most dangerous lie may be the one he has been telling himself. The series follows his spiral into paranoia as duty, survival, and the search for a real self collide.
Cast & crew
Tom Burke leads as Martin Odum, bringing layered physicality to a man who lives in borrowed identities. Steve Coogan and Hayley Squires deliver strong supporting turns, while Aml Ameen, Tom Hughes, Douglas Hodge, and Jasmine Blackborow round out an ensemble that keeps the procedural tension grounded in genuine human stakes.
Context & significance
Spy and undercover-operative dramas have long found a devoted audience among Persian-speaking viewers worldwide — the genre's themes of hidden identity, loyalty under pressure, and the cost of deception resonate strongly with diaspora communities navigating their own questions of belonging. Legends adds a psychological edge to the familiar deep-cover format: the threat is not just external but internal, as the protagonist's sense of self erodes. The series is available on K-Time with both Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible regardless of your preferred way to watch.
