The unique TV series stars Neil Patrick Harris as their menacing guardian Count Olaf and Patrick Warburton as narrator Snicket. K. Todd Freeman co-stars as the hapless Mr. Poe; Will Arnett and Cobie Smulders also recurred on Season 1, which debuted in January.

“Lemony Snicket” was renewed for Season 2 in March. There is no premiere date for the second installment yet.

Fillion is coming off of an eight-season run on ABC’s “Castle.” He previously appeared on Netflix in an episode of Drew Barrymore comedy “Santa Clarita Diet.” Recently, he also recurred on “Modern Family” and appeared on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” He is repped by CAA.
