Hitman with Alzheimer's Fights to Protect Family in Gripping New Drama

In January 2026, Fox will premiere the new drama series "Memory of a Killer," starring Patrick Dempsey in a gripping role. Dempsey plays Angelo Ledda, a skilled hitman leading a double life as a "fearsome NYC hitman and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father."

However, Angelo's dangerous profession becomes even more complicated when he is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As he struggles to maintain his two personas, Angelo must also investigate the suspicious death of his wife, which he believes may not have been an accident. With his memory rapidly deteriorating, Angelo races against time to uncover the truth and protect his pregnant daughter from those who threaten his family.

The series also features a talented supporting cast, including Michael Imperioli as Angelo's oldest friend, whose restaurant serves as a criminal front, and Gina Torres as a special agent investigating Angelo's activities. "Memory of a Killer" promises to be a thrilling and redemptive story about a man fighting to save his family while grappling with the devastating effects of Alzheimer's.
