‘Black Doves’ Creator Joe Barton Breaks Down the Christmas-Themed Spy Show’s Goriest Scene: ‘It Was Such an Arresting Image — Keira Knightley Covered in Brains’


'Black Doves' creator Joe Barton discusses the inspiration for the Keira Knightley spy series as well as what to expect from Season 2.

Keira Knightley may be coming for Mariah Carey’s crown as the Queen of Christmas with her latest project, “Black Doves,” which dropped on Netflix this week. The London-based spy thriller opens with a merry Santa Claus singing in a pub and ends six episodes later on Christmas Day, cementing the actor’s repertoire of Yuletide projects, which include “Love, Actually,” “Silent Night” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.” But when Helen’s lover Jason (played by Andrew Koji) dies, she finds herself embroiled in an intricate geopolitical web that threatens to upend not only her own life but start World War III.
