A new drama series directed by The Imitation Game's Morten TyldumWhile his film career is definitely on a roll – he just picked up a well-deserved first Oscar for Whiplash – J.K. Simmons is quite happy switching between movies and TV. He’s now attached to star in supernatural spy thriller Counterpart for US cable channel Starz.With an initial concept script from Jungle Book writer Justin Marks, Counterpart has Imitation Game director Morten Tyldum on board to direct the first two episodes, with Starz still debating whether it’ll order one season to begin with, or plump for two as it did with Patrick Stewart’s new comedy Blunt Talk.Blending espionage genre elements with a metaphysical twist, Counterpart is described as the story of Howard Silk (Simmons) working away quietly in a mammoth UN bureaucracy, counting the regrets of his life.
