ITV announce more cast for drama Beowulf

Joe Sims, Lee Boardman, David Bradley, Ace Bha and Gregory Fitoussi have joined an impressive international cast as ITV’s epic drama, Beowulf, continues to film on location in the ITV Tyne Tees region.

The actors will join Kieran Bew, who leads a remarkable cast as one of literature’s greatest and most enduring heroes, Beowulf.

Created by James Dormer, Tim Haines and Katie Newman, the action-packed thirteen part drama series is set in the mythical Shieldlands, a place of spectacle and danger populated by both humans and fantastical creatures.

Beowulf is a tale of courage, greed, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, power, man versus wilderness and, of course love. ITV note the series will, like any great Western, feature epic fights, thrilling chases, raids, celebrations and battles.

Filming continues in the North East of England until the beginning of October. ITV expect the drama to be transmitted in early 2016.
