The one-off film will focus on an MI5 officer called Edward working in the Middle East, Broadcast says.
The drama is expected to explore the moral dilemmas Edward faces surrounding the use of torture and will be set against the backdrop of the Arab Spring.
Complicit has been written by Guy Hibbert, who previously penned Omagh and Five Minutes of Heaven.
Channel 4's chief creative officer Jay Hunt said the drama "shows us a hidden world we think we know in an entirely original way, and goes straight to the core of one of the greatest dilemmas of our age".
Complicit is due to be broadcast later this year.
