Prodigal Son is an American crime drama television series, created by Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver for the Fox Broadcasting Company, that premiered on September 23, 2019. In October 2019, the series was picked up for a full season of 22 episodes.
The series centers on Malcolm Bright, whose father, Martin Whitly, is the infamous serial killer known as “The Surgeon”. As a child, Malcolm was responsible for enabling the police to arrest his father, and has not (of his own volition) seen his father in ten years.
Now a profiler, formerly with the FBI (until he was fired) and currently consulting for the New York Police Department, Malcolm is forced to confront his father after a copycat serial killer uses Dr. Whitly’s methods of killing. He now finds himself drawn back into constant contact with his father as he must both use Whitly’s insights to help the police solve particularly horrible crimes and battle his own inner demons.
Tom Payne as Malcolm Bright (formerly known as Malcolm Whitly), a disgraced former FBI profiler who now works for the NYPD. He possesses the unique ability to view crimes from the perspective of the killer, allowing him to pick up on things that other cops might miss. However, this gift also haunts him, causing him to live in a perpetual state of fear that he will one day succumb to the same sociopathic tendencies as his father.
Lou Diamond Phillips as Gil Arroyo, a lieutenant in the NYPD. He was the arresting officer of Martin Whitly and, since then, has acted as a surrogate father to his son, Malcolm; Gil hires Malcolm as his new consultant after the latter is fired from the FBI.
Halston Sage as Ainsley Whitly, Malcolm’s ambitious, younger sister; a TV news reporter.
Aurora Perrineau as Det. Dani Powell, an officer under Arroyo’s command who is sympathetic to Malcolm’s personal issues.
Frank Harts as Det. JT Tarmel, an officer under Arroyo’s command.
Keiko Agena as Edrisa Tanaka, an NYPD medical examiner with an interest in Malcolm.
Bellamy Young as Jessica Whitly, Malcolm’s mother and a successful businesswoman who suffers from alcoholism as a coping mechanism for her husband’s crimes.
Michael Sheen as Martin Whitly, Malcolm’s father who is currently incarcerated in an asylum after committing twenty-three murders as “The Surgeon”.
