BBC announces further casting for Kit Harington’s Gunpowder

February 28, 2017 - Staff@seenituk

Edward Holcroft, Shaun Dooley, and Tom Cullen are to join Game of Thrones and Spooks: The Greater Good star Kit Harington in Gunpowder, a new three-part BBC drama exploring the story behind the infamous Gunpowder Plot.

As previously reported, Harington will star as Robert Catesby, the 30 year-old Warwickshire gentleman who was the true driving force behind the plot, alongside Peter Mullan as Father Garnet, Mark Gatiss as the Spymaster Robert Cecil, and Liv Tyler as Ann Vaux.

Joining them are Edward Holcroft as Thomas Wintour, Catesby’s friend and co-conspirator, with Shaun Dooley as Sir William Wade, Lieutenant of The Tower and Cecil’s right-hand man. Tom Cullen takes on the role of Guy Fawkes.

Robert Emms (Happy Valley) will play Father John Gerard, the firebrand young priest who joins with the plotters, whilst Derek Riddell (The Missing) is King James.

Sian Webber (EastEnders) plays the devout and fearless Lady Dorothy Dibdale, with David Bamber (Tina And Bobby) appearing as Cecil’s great rival The Earl of Northumberland, and Kevin Eldon (The Halcyon) as Sir Joseph Hawksworth, Justice of the Peace. Acclaimed Spanish actor Pedro Casablanc will play the Constable of Castile.

The series was developed by Ronan Bennett, Kit Harington and Daniel West, and is written by Ronan Bennett, directed by J Blakeson and produced by Kudosin association with Thriker Films.
