The Starz Original series Counterpart began production on the 10-episode first season of the spy thriller starring J.K. Simmons from MRC, Gilbert Films, and Anonymous Content.
Counterpart is the story of ‘Howard Silk’ (J.K. Simmons), a lowly cog in a bureaucratic agency, who discovers that the agency he works for is really guarding a crossing into a parallel dimension.
The espionage thriller with a metaphysical twist stars Oscar winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash, The Accountant, Juno), Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Hyde Park on Hudson, Manhattan) and Harry Lloyd (The Theory of Everything, Jane Eyre, Manhattan).
Filming has commenced in Los Angeles and will continue in additional locations across the U.S. and Europe in 2017.
