Classé secret (English: Classified Secret) is a French Canadian TV spy thriller, crime drama series, which was broadcast on Addik from March 31, 2022. The first season of ten episodes was directed by Stéphan Beaudoin and co-written by Michel D'Astous and François Pagé. Filming occurred during late 2021 for Groupe TVA and Quebecor Content. The two lead protagonists are the married secret service agents Rachel (Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin) and Émile (Patrick Labbé) who investigate a fatal shooting near Montreal's American Consulate and an associated assassination attempt. Meanwhile, their fictitious agency, Secret Services of Canada (SSC), has a high-placed CIA mole. SSC boss Adrien (Andreas Apergis) suspects Rachel and orders Émile to investigate.

A second season, also of ten episodes, was confirmed in September 2022, and is set 18 months after the end of season one with Beaudoin returning as director and Pagé as sole scriptwriter. Filming of episodes finished in April 2023, while broadcasting began on October 11 of that year. In this season, Rachel heads SSC after Émile was exposed as the CIA mole and supposedly executed. Adrien is a security consultant for a mining company which has two workers held hostage in a disputed area of the Maghreb in Africa. Both seasons were streamed in Australia on SBS On Demand as Classified from February 1, 2024.
