Joining previously announced cast members Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, Elementary), Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education, Scenes with Girls) and Micheal Ward (Empire of Light, Top Boy) will be Sara Houghton (The Sugar Coated Bullets of the Bourgeoisie), Aaron Neil (Leopoldstadt), Geoffrey Streatfeild (Watch on the Rhine) and musician Miriam Wakeling (Dynasties).
