Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a BBC America science-fiction detective series, taking place after the Douglas Adams novel series of the same name. Written by Max Landis, it stars Samuel Barnett as the detective Dirk Gently and Elijah Wood as his reluctant sidekick Todd. A trailer for the series debuted at San Diego Comic Con 2016. The series is a co-production between BBC America and Netflix, with episodes commencing airing on BBC America in the United States on October 22, 2016, and all episodes available to stream on Netflix worldwide outside of the United States on December 11, 2016. The first season was filmed almost entirely in Vancouver, British Columbia.
On November 21, 2016, BBC America renewed the series for a 10-episode second season set to premiere in 2017.
The series follows the adventures of Dirk Gently (Samuel Barnett), an eccentric "holistic detective", and his reluctant sidekick Todd Brotzman (Elijah Wood).
