“I think it will be in the same niche [as Fool Me Once] Next year I think it will be January 1st. I guess!” he said.

“I'm playing the role of the chief detective inspector opposite an old friend of mine, who I played Uncle Vanya with, Rosalind Eleazar, who is the lead actress in this series. And she's great, she's Absolutely brilliant.”
