Purity

When Eon Productions officially announced Bond 25 was coming to theaters on November 8, 2019, they did not officially announce that Daniel Craig was returning as James Bond. Various reports claimed that Craig was definitely back (a “done deal” is how The New York Times put it) but until he says or producers say, it’s still an open question.

We’ve known for some time that Daniel Craig was tied to two-season Showtime drama Purity, adding another splash of kerosene to rumors of his leaving behind the role of James Bond. Now that Showtime has officially confirmed the two-season order however, executives don’t believe Purity would force Craig to hang up the tux.

Bye-bye Bond? We’ve been hearing forever that Daniel Craig had officially cast off the tux for future James Bond installments, and TV may have fired the final shot. Showtime has officially landed Jonathan Franzen miniseries Purity, a new 20-episode venture starring and produced by Daniel Craig.
