When Mandy Patinkin was first handed a list of potential storylines for the television comedy “Seasoned,” in which he co-stars with wife Kathryn Grody, he was a little taken aback.

On a video call with Grody, Grody-Patinkin, and director Ewen Wright, Patinkin explains that Grody-Patinkin reminded him that he’s always playing intense, dark roles like his Emmy-nominated stint on “Homeland.”

And it’s true: Speaking with Grody and Patinkin on Zoom is not that dissimilar from watching them in the pilot of “Seasoned,” which premieres Sunday at the Tribeca Festival.

In the episode, Grody and Patinkin play lightly fictionalized versions of themselves scouring New York for a place to eat dinner on their anniversary after they miss their reservation because Kathryn spent too long chatting with friends after a play.

On our call, Patinkin clasps his arm around Grody, showering her with affection and telling her he adores her as she bursts out laughing.
