Teaser For J.K. Simmons' Upcoming Sci-Fi Thriller COUNTERPART
The first teaser has been released for J.K. Simmons new sci-fi thriller called Counterpart. This is a series which is set to air on Starz. The teaser hardly gives us anything other than Simmons' character killing someone in a car. There's also no sense of any sci-fi elements in the teaser, but the story revolves around a secret organization crossing over into a parallel universe, so that should be sci-fi enough for you! Here's the synopsis:
The espionage thriller follows a man named Howard Silk (Simmons), a lowly cog in the bureaucratic machinery of a Berlin-based UN 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. The only man he can trust is "Prime," also played by Simmons, Howard's near-identical counterpart from this parallel world.
This series is definitely going to tell a fascinating story and I'm looking forward to watching it.
Counterpart premieres on Starz in early 2018.
