EXCLUSIVE: Fox‘s The Interrogator has added Michael Beach (The Perfect Couple, Tulsa King) to its series regular cast. The project, from Lionsgate Television and Fox Entertainment, has a 12-episode straight-to-series order for the 2026-27 season.
The Interrogator centers on former MI6 agent Conrad Henry (Stephen Fry) and his elite team. When conventional methods have failed, Henry’s quirky charm, superior intellect, and mind-bending behavioral maneuvers make him the only man able to lockpick the minds of the world’s most dangerous criminals.
Beach will play Louis, the first member of Henry’s team. Dryly witty, with a warm, fatherly smile and a twinkle in his eye that belies a very harrowing past, Louis’s role on the team is a jack-of-all-trades – he’s the AV and IT expert. He’s the voice in Henry’s ear with facts and figures. He’s a handyman: great with electronics, great with explosives, and he can even solve plumbing problems. He’s Henry’s best friend, his father-confessor, his moral touchstone – because they were each other’s saviors.

The pilot script was written by Fry, with revisions from Matt Pyken as well as William Harper, whose contribution was considered key in securing the greenlight.

Likely Story’s Anthony Bregman and Miriam Mintz, Matt Pyken, Neil Burger, and Anonymous Content also serve as executive producers on the series.
Beach’s recent credits include playing Dan Carter, the local Chief of Police, in Netflix’s limited series The Perfect Couple, based on Elin Hilderbrand’s bestselling novel of the same name.
