Game of Thrones and Atlantis star Mark Addy is to swap his sword for a gun after joining the cast of crime drama New Blood.
He will play DS Derek Sands in the cop show from acclaimed writer Anthony Horrowitz, which will debut on BBC One in 2016.
Sands is described as a "rough and cynical" officer who has grown jealous and embittered by the success of his much younger colleagues.
Addy will reunite with his former Atlantis co-star Aiysha Hart in the drama, which will also feature No Offence actor Ben Tavassoli and The Mill's Mark Strepan in the lead roles of junior investigators Rash and Stefan.
Also joining the series is Four Weddings and a Funeral star Anna Chancellor, who will play boss Eleanor Davies, the tough Director of the Serious Fraud Office. Rounding out the cast are Ariyon Bakare, Kimberley Nixon, Mark Bonnar and Dorian Lough.
