The sins of the father continues to haunt the âProdigal Sonâ in new season

Iâm not going to lie, my excitement went into overdrive upon learning that âProdigal Sonâ was returning to M-Net for a second season.
Aside from the stellar cast returning, I was chuffed to see that Catherine Zeta-Jones had a special guest star role.
Although she has meandered over to the small screen world from time to time, this was a move that deserved a bit of noise.
Unfortunately, I will have to wait a little longer to see her on-screen character, Dr Vivian Capshaw, who interacts with serial killer Martin Whitly (Michael Sheen) aka the Surgeon .

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Tuesday’s midseason premiere of “Prodigal Son.”)
The second half of Season 2 of “Prodigal Son” debuted Tuesday on Fox with an episode that focused mainly on Malcom Bright’s (Tom Payne) attempts to throw “Mind Sleuth” Simon Hoxley (Alan Cumming) off his trail in Hoxley’s investigation into the murder of Nicholas Endicott (Dermot Mulroney). And while Bright and his sister, Ainsley (Halston Sage), are very much responsible for Endicott’s death and the coverup of said murder, by the end of the hour, Bright was able to convince Hoxley that one of Endicott’s lackeys was behind it all. But as that was all going on, Bright’s father, Martin Whitly a.k.a. The Surgeon (Michael Sheen), w
But whatÂ
is fun is everything surrounding the case involving Simon Hoxley, whoâs there investigating a potential connection to Endicottâs murder. He throws a couple of pointed looks Malcolmâs way (the courier chain moves âdrugs, guns, and perhaps, a particularly gruesome dead body,â Hoxley says). Dani (Aurora Perrineau) and JT (Frank Harts) wonder if Malcolm needs his own moniker with Simon âThe Mind Sleuthâ Hoxley around. Some of their suggestions: âBrain Hacker,â âProfessor Profile,â and âCaptain Crimefighter.â
Malcolm tries to distract from his odd behavior by focusing on the caseâ¦and asking if a dead body is a victim. âThe dead man? Yes. Good catch,â Hoxley says.
Alan Cummings joins 'Prodigal Son' season 2 as Europol agent Simon Hoxley, and he says the Mindsleuth is in New York to 'suss' out the entire Whitly clan.

Okay, Iâm thrilled to tune into the second season of âProdigal Sonâ after an incredibly compelling and dark first season.
The series is helmed by Tom Payne, who fans will remember from âThe Walking Deadâ.
Introduced as Malcolm Bright, he changed his surname after his serial killer father Martin Whitly (Michael Sheen) aka The Surgeon was arrested for murder when he was a little boy.
A disgraced former FBI profiler, Malcolm is now working with the NYPD.
He has this unique ability to get into the psyche of a killer.
