Spooks: The Greater Good has premiered a new trailer.
The spy thriller, based on the BBC and Kudos Film and Television's long-running TV series, sees Peter Firth return to the role of Harry Pearce with Game of Thrones star Kit Harington on board as a new character, MI5 spy Will Holloway.
The storyline focuses on Pearce being forced to resign after high-profile terrorist Adem Qasim (Elyes Gabel) escapes from MI5 custody.
When Pearce disappears off a bridge into the Thames, Harington's former agent Holloway is drafted in from Moscow to foil a bomb threat from Qasim and uncover the truth surrounding his former mentor.
Spooks: The Greater Good was written by Jonathan Brackley and Sam Vincent, with regular series director Bharat Nalluri behind the camera. The film will open in cinemas on May 8.
Spooks, known as MI-5 in the US, ran for 86 episodes from 2002 to 2011. It also spawned a short-lived spinoff, Spooks: Code 9, in 2008.
Matthew Macfadyen, David Oyelowo, Keeley Hawes, Jenny Agutter, Rupert Penry Jones, Richard Armitage, Sophia Myles and Lara Pulver all featured among the cast over Spooks' ten series.
