SEAT OF DESTINY. BACK TO 'THE BOOTH AT THE END'

Just how far will you go? The Man (Xander Berkeley) poses the enigmatic and dangerous question once again in THE BOOTH AT THE END. Image: FX.

The always excellent Xander Berkeley, away from the scheming and corrupt Percy of NIKITA, returns to give more mysterious manipulation and life changing advice/requests to his "clients", from his discreet little diner booth office, in the second season of the innovative and acclaimed anthology tribute webseries THE BOOTH AT THE END, written and created by Christopher Kubasik, returning to the UK's quality purchasing FX HD channel for five twenty-three minute episodes from next Monday.

Once again, the character of The Man- the kid of guy that chain-smoking TWILIGHT ZONE writer Rod Serling, were he still alive, would surely have loved to have written for- remains a compulsive to watch, precognitive and psychological enigma. Is he from Heaven or is he from hell? Is he God or the Devil? Or somebody above both concepts? Making the most of his trusty little note book-probably possessing the kind of unforeseen abilities that would likely make iPads redundant- he's now relocated to a new diner, and a new city, but the requests for his unique services continues anew, with clients of all ages and all walks of life taking the opposite seat to confer and ultimately sell their souls to him, and whose destinies in their fulfilment can take roads not always expected and not always pleasant...

Information on the new series is somewhat sketchy-having only debuted in the US this past August- but new director Adam Arkin soaks up the atmosphere whilst Berkley's solid and enigmatic presence will notably bring out the best of new guest stars including DEADWOOD's Dayton Callie, HATFIELDS & McCOYS Noel Fisher, JUSTIFIED's Abby Miller and CASTLE's Danny Nucci. Plus, in an interesting new twist, The Man has his own wish that needs satiating. But just how far will he himself go to see it made fruition?
