“This is war”
Prepare to reenter the twisting sci-fi world of Counterpart, Justin Marks’ atmospheric parallel universe thriller. News arrived back in February that filming had begun in Berlin on season two of the Starz original, and now there are just weeks to wait until it arrives.
Counterpart season one was released as a boxet here in the UK only last month, so fans won’t have long to wait to find out what happens next in the twisting drama. Season two’s episodes will be available weekly on Amazon Prime channel Starz Play, in line with the US broadcast.
Counterpart is the story of Howard Silk (JK Simmons), a low-ranking official in the Berlin-based United Nations. Not to give too much away, Silk discovers a secret about his workplace that changes everything. Simmons is excellent in a peculiarly demanding role in this slow-build Cold War-influenced sci-fi.
Here’s the season two trailer. Spoilers ahead…
Counterpart season 2 will arrive in December 2018. Joining returning castmembers Simmons, Harry Lloyd and Olivia Williams will be veteran actor James Cromwell (LA Confidential, Babe), and Get Out‘s Betty Gabriel.
