Laurie is fresh off his role as the eponymous neuropsychiatrist Dr. Eldon Chance on the recently-canceled Hulu series Chance.
The Fox series ran for eight seasons, while the Hulu series only lasted two.
If Laurie is playing Doc Daneeka, then the role marks a continuing theme for Hugh Laurie’s career.
Likewise, the British actor rose to fame on the American side of the pond with the Fox series House, where he played the cantankerous titular character, Dr. Gregory House.
