“It has been an exciting journey to work with the immensely talented team behind Perry Mason. Viewers have relished being transported back in time to 1930s Los Angeles each week, and we are thrilled to welcome the show back for a second season,” said HBO’s Francesca Orsi in a statement.

The show was originally pitched as a feature film for Robert Downey Jr.

If you haven’t watched yet, the show “is based on the character from the Erle Stanley Gardner novels — though it takes place before Mason becomes the defense attorney made familiar by the 1957-66 CBS series. In this Los Angeles noir version, Mason is a low-rent private investigator haunted by his wartime experience in France and suffering from a broken marriage.”

The series stars Matthew Rhys as Mason, with Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk, Shea Whigham, Tatiana Maslany and John Lithgow also on the cast.

Matthew Rhys is stunned silent after seeing the body of a child in the first full trailer for HBO’s Perry Mason origin series.

The upcoming series is based on characters created by Erle Stanley Gardner, and is an origin story for the famous defense attorney, set in 1931 Los Angeles amidst the Great Depression.

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys sit in the front row while attending the rag & bone fashion show during New York Fashion Week on Friday (February 7) in New York City.

The longtime couple kicked back with some beers while enjoying the show! Also in attendance at the event were Succession‘s Nicholas Braun, model Dylan Penn, and Castle Rock‘s Paul Sparks with wife Annie Parisse.

While attending the event, Keri told the New York Post about how she steals Matthew‘s clothes.

“That’s our thing,” she said. “I buy him clothes and then I steal them and wear them.”

“I’ll kind of buy something [for her] and go, oh s–t, that didn’t fit! But it fits me, bingo!” Matthew said in response. “I’m not a shopper. That’s the one thing I don’t do well, and I don’t really adhere to.”

Keri noted that Matthew picked out her outfit for the fashion show!

Keri Russell walks the red carpet at the premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on Monday (December 16) in Hollywood.

The 43-year-old actress was joined at the event by her partner and former The Americans co-star Matthew Rhys.

Keri joined the cast of Star Wars for the new film and this reunites her with director J.J. Abrams, who was the creator of her hit series Felicity. She is playing a character named Zorri Bliss, who is reportedly an old friend of Oscar Isaac‘s Poe Dameron.

FYI: Keri is wearing a Celine dress and Mark Cross bag.

Matthew Rhys sat down for an interview with host Seth Meyers on Late Night on Monday (November 18) and dished all about starring in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers (Tom Hanks), he overcomes his skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbor.

“Ironically I’m very cynical and knew nothing about Mr. Rogers so it was perfect casting,” the 45-year-old actor told Seth. “My first reaction is I read the script and said to my [wife] Keri [Russell], ‘who is Mr. Rogers?’ I took a deep dive and I thought something was wrong because this gentleman is speaking very slowly and seemingly only had one camera that they would never cut away. I realized that it wasn’t for me, but for children of a certain age. Then I discovered the true genius of Mr. Rogers.”

Matthew also discussed being starstruck by Tom Hanks and trying to impress Keri Russell while filming The Americans – Watch the interview here!
