'The Rook,' which premieres Sunday, is centered on female characters, with matching representation off-screen: Women directed 6 of the season’s 8 episodes.
"The Rook," a new spy drama from the executive producer of"The Night Manager," combines a focus on powerful women with"strong supernatural elements."
Based on Daniel O'Malley’s 2012 novel, the series comes from Stephen Garrett, the executive producer behind AMC/BBC One’s successful John le Carré adaptation “The Night Manager.
“Speaking personally, I prefer working with women,” he explains. “There are clearly extraordinary voices out there, both as filmmakers and as writers. I worked with [director] Susanne Bier on ‘The Night Manager’ and that was a very deliberate choice. To have a female gaze on that very male world was more interesting. The spy story has a testosterone-charged reputation. To bring an estrogen element into it just makes it more interesting.
Of course, the duplicitous world of the Checquy isn’t exactly real life. The agency, where the intelligence officers are known by the names of chessboard pieces , flickers with reminders of that heightened world, particularly when we see the agents use their powers. Richardson based Lady Farrier, the agency’s King, partially on Stella Rimington, the female former director general of Britain’s MI5 security service.
