Among his silver screen credits are Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and The Physician.
Dr. Martin Whitly - Michael Sheen
Welsh actor Michael Sheen will be back at the grinning psychopath Dr Martin Whitly, who has been banged up for being unmasked as the notorious serial killer known as The Surgeon.
Sheen has a long list of credits to his name from the Underworld film franchise to his collaborations with Peter Morgan on the likes of Frost/Nixon and The Queen.
Some of his other big roles include The Twilight saga, Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland, Far From the Madding Crowd and Tron: Legacy.
More recently, the actor has appeared in Masters of Sex, Good Omens and offbeat BBC lockdown series Staged.
Dr. Vivian Capshaw - Catherine Zeta-Jones

The fellow Welsh actress will be chewing up the scenery as she spars with Sheen.
Zeta-Jones has starred in Chicago, Traffic, The Mask of Zorro, and Entrapment, among other roles.
Fox executive Michael Thorn said of the casting: “An extraordinary talent, Catherine Zeta-Jones is the perfect foil for the brilliant Michael Sheen.
“I can’t wait to see these two greats go head-to-head in a season that is bound to raise the bar set by an outstanding season one.”
