Simmons' (The Closer) newest TV drama is coming to the UK. StarzPlay – which is available exclusively in the UK on Amazon Prime via Amazon Channels – has acquired Counterpart from international distributor Sony Pictures Television. The show's first season will be available to stream for StarzPlay subscribers from Friday September 28th. This marks the second major deal between Sony and StarzPlay since the service launch on Amazon Prime Video UK earlier this year. Back in July, the two companies also agreed a deal for AT&T's Audience network's Stephen King adaptation Mr. Mercedes.https://www.tvwise.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Counterpart-S1-Key-Art-200x300.jpg
