The Tenet star who recently joined The Crown as Princess Diana will play the title role in the drama based on Ariel Lawhon’s World War II spy novel of the same name. According to Variety, "Code Name Hélène will tell the epic real-life story of Nancy Grace Augusta Wake, a New Zealand-born journalist who became a ferociously brave spy and one of the most powerful leaders of the French Resistance. The series will be told in interweaving timelines following each of the four code names used by Nancy during World War II." Code Name Hélène doesn't yet have a network home.
