In Season 2, now that the Crossing is closed and each Howard is stranded in the other's world, both men will have to adapt in order to survive. Howard Prime takes on his other's life, which means going to his job every day and living in his home with his wife, and Howard Alpha finds himself still locked in a mysterious black site known as Echo, cut off from everyone he knows. Meanwhile, a cold war is beginning to escalate between the two worlds.

In addition to Simmons, the series stars Olivia Williams, Harry Lloyd, Nicholas Pinnock, Nazanin Boniadi, and Sara Serraiocco. Joining the series in Season 2 are James Cromwell (American Horror Story) as Yanek and Betty Gabriel (Westworld) as Naya Temple.

Counterpart returns for Season 2 on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 9/8c on Starz.
