There\u2019s an early scene in Malice\u2014Prime Video\u2019s new revenge-thriller series<\/a> premiering in November\u2014that David Duchovny has waited years to film. In fact, you might say he\u2019s waited his whole life. Without giving away too much, it features him shirtless, on an island in Greece, debuting some impressive dance moves.<\/p>\n

\u201cMick Jagger!\u201d Duchovny tells Glamour on a recent phone call. \u201cMy good old Mick Jagger imitation comes in handy, finally! I\u2019ve been waiting my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joking aside\u2014or, maybe not\u2014the truth is this is definitely a different kind of character for Duchovny, who\u2019s known for playing more inquisitive men like The X-Files\u2019 Fox Mulder. In Malice he plays Jamie Tanner, a seemingly successful businessman, husband, and father, who sees his life turned upside down when the substitute nanny, Adam Healey (Jack Whitehall), infiltrates his family\u2019s luxurious life during their vacation in Greece.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a guy that questions everything, including myself, so playing this guy who has this certainty about himself and his life is great,\u201d says Duchovny. “But the dramatic part is when that certainty gets cracked open. I have to figure out how to play a guy like that. I have to trick myself to play characters who don\u2019t have doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did any of Jamie\u2019s certainty rub off of Duchovny, I ask? \u201cAbsolutely not. No,\u201d he says with a laugh. “No, no. I\u2019m still the same old me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s a hell of a ride to watch Duchovny master the challenge in front of him. He describes Malice as \u201cThe White Lotus<\/a> meets Ripley<\/a>,\u201d but it\u2019s not a whodunit; it\u2019s more of a whydunit. \u201cAnd that\u2019s the thriller part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitehall tells Glamour that the show \u201cdefinitely has the kind of essence of those \u201980s\u2013\u201990s psychological thrillers, which I loved so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cThere\u2019s this dark humour and some surprising twists and turns that really ratchet up as the series develops. You\u2019re really on the edge of your seat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set against a breathtaking Grecian backdrop with additional scenes in London, Malice also has elements of Netflix\u2019s Sirens<\/a> and The Perfect Couple<\/a>, as well as Apple TV\u2019s Your Friends and Neighbours. Created by James Wood (Rev), it\u2019s the perfect winter TV escape, and we have the exclusive trailer debut. Take a look:<\/p>\n

Intriguing, right? Well, there\u2019s more. Duchovny and Whitehall share everything you\u2019ll want to know about the series when it premieres next month, including the lengths they went to to prep for their respective roles, and what you can expect in the finale. Read on.<\/p>\n
