Award-winning filmmaker Joe Wright will direct the first two episodes of the 10-part series, penned by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth.
Based on the French show Le Bureau des Legendes, the upcoming series has started production, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In The Agency, Fassbender will play a spy agent who is ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station.
"When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart, hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage," read the official synopsis.
George Clooney and Grant Heslov are attached to executive produce the show via their Smokehouse Pictures alongside Fassbender, Wright and the Butterworths.
