Fox is introducing a new, dangerous killer to the primetime lineup this winter, and TV Insider has an exclusive first look at new art perfectly showcasing the concept of Memory of a Killer.
In the new thriller, premiering on Sunday, January 25, 2026, Patrick Dempsey stars as hitman Angelo Doyle, who’s living a double life and hiding a deadly secret: He’s developed early on-set Alzheimer’s. (It’s Dempsey’s return to broadcast television after his 2021 exit from Grey’s Anatomy.) Michael Imperioli plays his oldest friend, Dutch, who gives him his targets. He’s also an accomplished Italian chef who owns a Bronx restaurant (a front for his criminal enterprise). It’s extremely important that Angelo trust Dutch — but can he?
TV Insider’s exclusive art teases just that, with various objects from both his personal and professional lives — bullets, a gun, a flower, an engagement ring, a car, a baseball bat, a teddy bear, and more — coming out of the back of Dempsey’s head and Imperioli looming in the background. The tagline reads, “A Fading Mind. A Violent Past.” See the full version below.

It also promotes the two-night premiere. The series premiere will air on Sunday, January 25, at 10/9c, after the NFC Championship Game, then Episode 2 will air the following night, on Monday, January 26, in its regular time period of 9/8c.
Memory of a Killer is inspired by the book and the 2003 award-winning Belgian film, De Zaak Alzheimer. In addition to Patrick Dempsey and Michael Imperioli, the series also stars Richard Harmon as Joe, a hitman; Odeya Rush as Maria, Angelo’s daughter; Daniel David Stewart as Jeff, Maria’s husband; Peter Gadiot as Dave, a local police detective; and Gina Torres as Special Agent Linda Grant.
