TV

Two covert Russian spies living in America are contacted by their comrades after remaining dormant for years and are tasked to turn their CIA analyst son into a spy.

AceShowbiz - After "The Americans" on FX, another TV series about a spy family is coming to NBC. The first sneak peek for midseason drama "Allegiance" has now made its way out online, giving a look at the complication that arises in the family.

Years ago, Russian-born Katya was tasked by the KGB to recruit American businessman Mark O'Connor as a spy and the two fell in love. It was agreed that as long as Katya remained an asset for Russia and that her services could be called on in the future, she would be allowed to marry Mark and move to America.

After years in America building a happy life and without word from Moscow, they thought they had escaped. Until one day their comrades give an order to turn their son into a spy. Born an American with loyalty to the country, Alex O'Connor, a young idealistic CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs, faces a serious conflict whether to turn his parents in or betray his country.

Scott Cohen ("Necessary Roughness") plays Mark and Hope Davis ("The Newsroom") stars as Katya with Gavin Stenhouse ("Person of Interest") as their son Alex. Executive produced by George Nolfi ("The Adjustment Bureau"), Avi Nir ("Homeland"), Ron Leshem, Amit Cohen, Yona Wisenthal and Giyora Yahalom, the spy thriller will premiere Thursday, February 5 at 10 P.M. ET on NBC.
