Spy in the Troop: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Building on the recent success of Spy in the Ocean, the series will deploy the most advanced Spy Creatures ever created to infiltrate groups of apes and monkeys. Sophisticated AI will enhance the Spies ability to communicate, allowing them to use the same calls and facial expressions as the primates they encounter.

With the ability to recognise individuals, the new Spies will be able to interpret emotions and respond appropriately. Through a series of intimate and revealing interactions, the Spy Creatures will shine new light on the thoughts, feelings and problem-solving abilities of primates, and lead us to reflect on our own species and the roots of human behaviour.
