Stephen Fry to star in Fox drama series ‘Interrogator’

Fox has given a straight-to-series order to the drama “The Interrogator” starring Stephen Fry.

The logline for the show states that it is “centered on Conrad Henry (Fry), former MI6 agent, and his elite team. When conventional methods have failed, Henry’s quirky charm, superior intellect, and baffling behavioral maneuvers make him the only man capable of manipulating the minds of the world’s most dangerous criminals.”

Fox has ordered twelve episodes of the series. Fry wrote the pilot, with revisions by Bill Harper and Matt Pyken. All three are executive producers, along with Anonymous Content, Neil Burger and Paul McGuigan. McGuigan will also direct. Likely Story’s Anthony Bregman and Miriam Mintz also serve as executive producers. Lionsgate Television and Fox Entertainment Studios are producing.

Fry previously appeared in the hit Fox procedural “Bones” in the role of Dr. Gordon Wyatt. An acclaimed actor and comedian, Fry is known for his work in shows such as ‘Blackadder’ and ‘A Bit of Fry & Laurie’, as well as films such as ‘Wilde’, ‘Gosford Park’, ‘V for Vendetta’ and ‘Love & Friendship’.

He is represented by CAA and Hamilton Hodell.

This is the latest series pickup for Fox ahead of the 2026-2027 broadcast season. The network has also greenlit a reboot of “Baywatch,” which had a long road to the screen but was formally ordered in September.

Fox currently has few scripted dramas on its schedule. The network’s current drama lineup consists solely of the medical drama “Doc,” the well-received “Doc Martin” adaptation “Best Medicine” starring Josh Charles, and the recently launched “Memory of a Killer” starring Patrick Dempsey.
