Preview — Take Two Season 1 Episode 5: Death Becomes Him

Meagan McNicholas Previews, Take Two

Take Two is the most interesting when it remembers it’s about a PI, not a cop. The cases can be unusual and no one has to play the rules. “Death Becomes Him” looks like it will be keeping with that theme.

Just the promo alone has enough twists and questions to keep you wondering what is possibly going on with this case. Did Sam and Eddie’s client hire a hitman to kill him and then change his mind? Does he then just fake his death instead?

If the case isn’t enough to grab your interest, the terrified client is played by special guest Seamus Dever! Dever played Detective Kevin Ryan on Take Two creators Andrew Marlowe and Terri Miller’s show Castle for 8 seasons. I’m so excited to see him pop up here!

Aliyah O’Brien and Jordan Gavaris will be in this one too. “Death Becomes Him” is written by Dan Fresman and directed by Holly Dale.

Heads up! Take Two has moved to 8/7c.
