In addition to the pick-ups and renewals Fox announced at its TCA presentation today — along with the release of a new X-FILES promo — the network has also released a trailer for its new series HOUDINI & DOYLE.
The series, which is apparently inspired by true events, “follows two great men of the 20th Century – Harry Houdini (Michael Weston), master magician, escape artist and paranormal debunker; and Arthur Conan Doyle (Stephen Mangan), prolific writer, creator of “Sherlock Holmes” and paranormal aficionado. They grudgingly join forces with New Scotland Yard to investigate unsolved and inexplicable and possibly supernatural crimes, alongside the first female Constable of the London Metropolitan Police Force, Adelaide Stratton (Rebecca Liddiard).”
HOUDINI & DOYLE is set to premiere in the spring of 2016.
