THE WORLD
Welcome to a world where history and espionage collide. Set against the backdrop of World War II, Josephine Baker: Super Spy reimagines one of history's most extraordinary women as the leader of a secret international spy network fighting to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. From the glamorous stages of Paris and Casablanca to hidden Resistance safe houses, enemy fortresses, and dangerous battlefronts, every mission unfolds in a world where music, deception, and courage become powerful weapons.
Inspired by the extraordinary true story of Josephine Baker's service to the French Resistance during World War II, this is a historical action-adventure series that blends real history with thrilling espionage, daring missions, and larger-than-life heroes.
Behind the spotlight of one of the world's greatest entertainers lies a dangerous secret. While captivating audiences across Europe, Josephine secretly leads an elite network of undercover operatives: spies, soldiers, performers, and freedom fighters recruited from around the world, on covert missions to rescue prisoners, sabotage Nazi operations, recover vital intelligence, and protect innocent lives.
As the war intensifies, Josephine's greatest challenge isn't just defeating the enemy; it's keeping her extraordinary team together. Each mission tests their courage, loyalty, and willingness to sacrifice for a cause greater than themselves.
VOLUME ONE
World War II is at its darkest hour. Travelling the world under the cover of a concert tour, Josephine and her elite spy team are tasked with gathering intelligence to rescue nearly 200 French prisoners of war before they are delivered to Nazi Germany. But when a pirate attack, a ruthless warlord, and a shocking betrayal threaten to destroy the mission, Josephine must abandon the original plan and lead a daring rescue behind enemy lines.
As deception, espionage, and explosive action unfold, Josephine refuses to leave anyone behind, even if it means defying orders and risking everything to save one of her own.
June 1942. Josephine travels by boat with her band and her secret team to Casablanca for two nights of live performance, hosted by a warlord who has seized control of the city and is holding nearly 200 French POWs, intending to hand them to the Nazi government in exchange for diplomatic recognition. The team's goal is to collect intelligence for a French Navy extraction two days after the band departs. Then pirates attack the boat hours from shore, and at dinner with the warlord Josephine's mole reveals that the Nazis are arriving early, forcing a drastic change of plan.
