Starz has released the official trailer for the second season of its sci-fi thriller series “Counterpart” and announced a December 9th premiere date.
Counterpart stars Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense), Harry Lloyd(Game of Thrones), Nicholas Pinnock (Captain America: The First Avenger), Nazanin Boniadi (Homeland) and Sara Serraiocco (Salvo).
Betty Gabriel and James Cromwell join the cast this season, with showrunner Justin Marks making his directorial debut on the series this season.
Created, written, and executive produced by Justin Marks (The Jungle Book), the series follows a mysterious world hidden beneath the surface of our everyday existence. Howard Silk (J.K. Simmons) is a lowly cog in the bureaucratic machinery of a Berlin-based United Nations spy agency. When Howard discovers that his organization safeguards the secret of a crossing into a parallel dimension, he is thrust into a shadow world of intrigue, danger, and double-cross where the only man he can trust is his near-identical counterpart from this parallel world. The show explores themes of identity, fate and lost love, posing the eternal question, “what if our lives could have been different?”
The ten-episode second season has Howard and his counterpart stranded in two different worlds, each having to adapt for survival. Howard Prime takes on his other’s life: going to his job, living in his home… with his wife.
Howard Alpha is locked in a mysterious black site known as Echo, cut off from everyone he knows. As a cold war escalates between worlds deepening a fickle divide, both men find themselves growing increasingly like their other.
Gabriel will play Naya Temple, a former FBI agent recently hired by the Office of Interchange to clean house, a figure both intimidating and magnetic.
