Plummer joins TV mystery

Oscar-winning Canadian actor Christopher Plummer is set to star in a new homegrown drama series for Global TV. The Canadian network says he’ll star in Departure alongside Emmy-winning British actress Archie Panjabi of The Good Wife. It’s billed as a “high-octane conspiracy series” about the mysterious disappearance of a passenger plane over the Atlantic Ocean. Panjabi will play a recently widowed aviation investigator and Plummer will play her former boss. The six-part series will film in Toronto and London, England. The series is set to air next year.
