Watch Ben Miller in the Trailer for PBS's 'Professor T' Remake

You've probably heard of the mystery series Professor T before. The popular Belgian import has been a foreign language hit on PBS Passport and local stations around the country, and its highly anticipated third season dropped earlier this year. But that's not the version that will be taking over your Sunday nights this summer.

Instead, we'll be watching the new English language remake of this popular drama - featuring a face that's more than a bit familiar to mystery fans. Former Death in Paradise star Ben Miller is taking on the role of the titular criminologist and amateur sleuth, who uses his unique detail-oriented mind to help solve crimes.

If this all sounds a bit like the popular USA Network series Monk, well, that's because it kind of is. But the concept of using an awkward or otherwise troubled genius to help stop bad guys isn't exactly new - and is clearly effective as a storytelling tool.

Professor T also stars Emma Naomi as one of the professor's former students now a Detective Sergeant investigating a serial rapist, Douglas Reith as his boss at the Institute of Criminology, and Frances de la Tour as his domineering mother Adelaide, with whom he has a somewhat complicated relationship.
