Prodigal Son Shares Preview of Catherine Zeta-Jones' Dr. Capshaw
Malcolm (Tom Payne) and Martin aka The Surgeon (Michael Sheen) are about to meet two familiar faces who are going to have a major impact on their second season lives, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Alan Cumming set to join FOX's Prodigal Son. Cumming's Simon Hoxley aka "The Mind Sleuth" travels to New York to get to the bottom of Endicott's murder- placing Bright and his family squarely on his radar. Meanwhile, Martin has to contend with Zeta-Jones' Dr. Vivian Capshaw, a Claremont Psychiatrics' resident MD who enjoys putting Martin through his paces but then looks to make his life "interesting" after she sees Martin in a new light when he starts helping treat other patients. Now, the network has released a first-look at Zeta-Jones' Dr. Capshaw (who clearly has a point she needs to drill home) followed by the official episode overview for "Face Value"- with Prodigal Son returning to FOX on March 2 (after this week, the season skips a week):
Prodigal Son Season 2, Episode 7 "Face Value": Malcolm, still reeling from the latest events with Ainsley, focuses on the next case, in which a famous plastic surgeon is murdered. Meanwhile, Martin gets a new job working in the infirmary with resident MD Dr. Vivian Capshaw (Zeta-Jones). Then, Jessica is surprised to learn her younger sister is in town. Alan Cumming guest-stars.
Here's a look at a preview for tonight's episode "Head Case" followed by an episode overview (along with three preview images):
Prodigal Son Season 2, Episode 6 "Head Case": While the team investigates the murder of an architect who was tasked with renovating a supposedly haunted hotel, Bright is knocked out and falls into an elevator shaft. Trapped and unconscious, he imagines an alternate reality that finds him leading a semi-normal life in which his father, who is not a serial killer, helps him solve the case
PRODIGAL SON follows MALCOLM BRIGHT (Tom Payne), a criminal profiler with a rare talent for getting inside the minds of killers. He learned how they think because his father, DR. MARTIN WHITLY (Michael Sheen), was a notorious serial killer known as "The Surgeon." Now he's using his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve their most puzzling murders. Bright's team, led by his longtime mentor, NYPD Lieutenant GIL ARROYO (Lou Diamond Phillips), includes Detectives DANI POWELL (Aurora Perrineau), JT TARMEL (Frank Harts) and medical examiner DR. EDRISA TANAKA (Keiko Agena).
Season Two picks up with Bright's personal life in disarray after his sister AINSLEY's (Halston Sage) shocking actions in the Season One finale. Now, he must "take care" of her and protect his mother JESSICA WHITLY (Bellamy Young) from a secret that could tear the family apart all over again! Further complicating matters, Martin seeks to deepen his relationship with Bright, his prodigal son, but forging this bond leads to shocking twists and revelations.
Joining the cast for the second season include Christian Borle (Little Shop of Horrors) as Friar Pete, a former friar ejected from his church for extremist views, he is famous for a notorious killing spree that has landed him in the psychiatric ward with Martin. Friar Pete is a careful listener and offers respite to the other patients — and becomes a key consultant in Bright's latest case. Michael Potts' (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) Dr. Brandon Marsh is Martin's new therapist at Claremont who's desperate to have a breakthrough with his psychiatric patients. Catherine Zeta-Jones joins the cast as Dr. Vivian Capshaw, a Claremont Psychiatrics' resident MD who looks to make Martin's life "interesting" after she sees him in a new light when he starts helping treat other patients.
