Jamie Campbell Bower from The Twilight Saga and Sweeney Todd will be another familiar face in the series.
The show will star Sheila Atim who was a regular on Harlots.
Ivanno Jeremiah, who has starred in Netflix's Black Mirror is also on tap for the show.
Georgie Henley from Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia and british stage actor Alex Sharp are more unfamiliar faces whose stardom will likely rise thanks to their roles in the series.
