Tucci plays a detective who arrives in a small Arctic town called Fortitude to search for a killer alongside the local sheriff played by Richard Dormer, who’s known for “Game of Thrones.” The series was filmed in Iceland and Britain.
The show is Tucci’s first extended TV role since 10-episodes of “ER” six years ago. He was nominated for a supporting actor Oscar in 2009 for “The Lovely Bones.”
The network announced the show Friday at the summer TV critics’ meeting.
Pivot also is bringing back “Please Like Me” for a third season.
