TheSympathizer trailer unveils Robert Downey Jr., Hoa Xuande, and Sandra Oh in the upcoming spy series.
Warner Bros. Discovery has released the first teaser trailer for The Sympathizer, an upcoming espionage thriller based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 2015 novel of the same name. The show will be part of Warner Bros.' new slate of programs to release on its rebranded Max platform in 2024.
According to the show's logline, The Sympathizer "is an espionage thriller and cross-culture satire about the struggles of a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War and his resulting exile in the United States." The series stars Hoa Xuande as the titular spy. The trailer shows him ominously saying, "I could be Vietcong for all you know. A spy. How would you know?" He then laughs, saying, "I'm not, of course.

However, it is known that Downey Jr. will portray one of several antagonist characters, including a California congressman, a CIA agent, and more.
It was first announced in April 2021 that Nguyen would be adapting his novel for A24. Park was attached as showrunner from the beginning, as Nguyen had said that he was impressed by the director's 2003 noir thriller film Oldboy, and had said he "couldn't imagine a better person to direct this TV adaptation.” Downey Jr. would join the cast that July, and a worldwide search for a Vietnamese lead eventually landed on Xuande.
As this is only a teaser trailer, it is likely that additional footage from the series will be shown, especially since it does not have an official release date beyond 2024. The trailer for The Sympathizer can be seen below:
