'Counterpart': With Howard Silk in the wrong place and the 'crossing' shut down between both worlds, here's what to expect in season 2

Howard Silks have swapped lives, with one becoming a husband and the other a convicted criminal. Who is in more danger?
PUBLISHED NOV 28, 2018

Howard Silk's world turned upside down the day he realized that he isn't the only Howard. A second Howard Silk exists who, unlike him, is a spy. STARZ's Justin Marks-created show, 'Counterpart', starring J.K. Simmons (as Howard Silks), Harry Lloyd (Peter Quayle), Nazanin Boniadi (Clare), Olivia Williams (Emily Burton Silk), and Sara Serraiocco (Baldwin), is set to return for its second season on December 9.

And after the shutting down of the 'Crossing' between the two worlds of Alpha and Prime in the first season, the city of Berlin is about to witness the duplicate lifestyle of Howard Prime, who is now stuck in the Alpha world. 

Season one left us on a doubtful note as we observed the diplomacy between the two worlds coming to an end, an assassin walking free in the Alpha world (our world), and the swapping of the Howard Silks where Howard Alpha is now serving his sentence in prison while Howard Prime is at home with the newly-awakened Emily.
