Paul Williams, a lifelong spy fan turned comedian, brings his childhood James Bond dreams to life with “New Zealand Spy,” a hilarious retro spy series set in the 60s or 70s. Playing bumbling agent Michael Brown alongside Rose Matafeo and Joe Thomas, Williams embraces a deliberately analog aesthetic—no gadgets, just running, costumes, and charm. Oscar-winner Bret McKenzie joins as “Boss,” praising the script’s brilliance and the crew’s dedication. Filming was a wild, joyful adventure filled with skiing, climbing, and deep friendships. Though musical numbers were considered, the show’s score by Stephen Gallagher adds emotional depth. And yes, Australians are the villains—because sibling rivalry is the real espionage.
