ABOUT HOUDINI & DOYLE ON FOX:
The series premieres Monday, May 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The series follows real-life friends and historical figures, Harry Houdini (Michael Weston) and, in his pre-knighthood days, Arthur Conan Doyle (Stephen Mangan), as they work together to solve seemingly inexplicable cases involving the paranormal. Inspired by true events, the series follows two great men of the 20th Century and real-life friends - HARRY HOUDINI (Weston), master magician, escape artist and paranormal debunker; and ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (Mangan), prolific writer, creator of "Sherlock Holmes" and paranormal aficionado. They grudgingly join forces with New Scotland Yard to investigate unsolved, inexplicable and possibly supernatural crimes, alongside the first female Constable of the London Metropolitan Police Force, ADELAIDE STRATTON (Rebecca Liddiard, "Man Seeking Woman").
