Sky Atlantic's original drama 'Tin Star' is getting another Irish cast member as John lynch joins the show which also stars Tim Roth and and Dublin actress Genevieve O’Reilly.
You'll likely have most recently seen John as Assistant Chief Constable Jim Burns in 'The Fall' but he was also Gwyneth Paltrow's cheating fella in 'Sliding Doors', the absentee dad in 'The Secret Garden' and Paul Hill of the Guildford Four in 'In the Name of the Father'.
He will be joined by Anamaria Marinca ('The Missing', 'Mars') and Jenessa Grant ('The Handmaid’s Tale') as new additions to the cast for the second season of 'Tin Star' which is currently filming in Calgary, Canada.
At the end of series one (which is currently available to watch on demand on Sky and NOW TV), Police Chief Jim Worth (Roth), his wife Angela (O’Reilly) and their daughter Anna (Abigail Lawrie) were left destroyed by the chaos that had followed Jim and his alcoholic alter ego Jack Devlin from the UK.
The second series picks up where we left our anarchic and unlikely hero, cut off in the remote Rockies wilderness with his grieving and shell-shocked family struggling to come to terms with their ordeal. Seeking refuge from her own parents, Anna is taken in by the God-fearing Nickel family, headed up by Pastor Johan (Lynch) his wife Sarah (Marinca) and daughter Rosa (Grant), and hidden with the Ammonites - a religious community close to Little Big Bear.
'Tin Star' creator Rowan Joffe and executive producer Alison Jackson said: "We are thrilled to be given a further opportunity to delve deeper into the characters we had such fun with in series one. A second series of 'Tin Star' lets us build on the established world of Little Big Bear, but also gives the audience a glimpse of another intriguing community and provides us with a family who are strangely unsettling for our hero Jim Worth. We are delighted that John, Anamaria and Jenessa have joined our wonderful cast."
'Tin Star' season two is scheduled to air on Sky in 2019.
