“J.K. Simmons of Two Worlds!”
That might be a way to explain the Starz series Counterpart, premiering January 21 on Starz. The show was just previewed at the Television Critics Association press tour, and Starz has released some photos of the cast.
Additionally, Starz has released a trailer which you can find below if you hadn’t seen it before. Enjoy:
Counterpart is an espionage series about 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?”
