Graham didn’t elaborate on his role, but he played Hayden Stagg in the sixth and final season of Steven Knight’s smash BBC series. We’ve reached out to Netflix for further comment.
He joins a splashy cast for the movie that includes protagonist Cillian Murphy, Tim Roth, Rebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan. Knight recently talked up the “mindblowing” cast during the RTS London Convention, noting that the film is “set in the Second World War and it’s really good.”
The continuation of the multi-award-winning saga has been written by Knight. He will produce alongside Murphy, Guy Heeley and Patrick Holland. Exec producers include Caryn Mandabach, Tom Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook and Andrew Warren. The movie will be made in association with BBC Film.
