He was in prison in last year's acclaimed drama, Time, and his character didn't last too long in Game of Thrones, but hopefully things will work out better for Sean Bean in an upcoming BBC series.
In Marriage, the actor will star alongside Nicola Walker in a narrative that revolves around the ups and downs of the 30-year marriage of Ian (Bean) and Emma (Walker).
Walker is known for playing DCI Cassie Stuart in the brilliant ITV drama Unforgotten, and Hannah Defoe Stern, a divorce lawyer, in BBC drama series The Split.
The four-part drama will see the pair deal with the insecurities, the ambiguities, the hopes and the fears that are part of all marriages, along with the risks and the gifts of a long-term intimate relationship.
The new show is created by two time Bafta-winning writer and director Stefan Golaszewski, and will, according to the show’s synopsis, be “sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always revealing”.
Speaking about taking on this new role, Sean Bean enthused: “I’m thrilled to be playing opposite the talented Nicola Walker and I’m looking forward to bringing Stefan’s intimate scripts to the screen.”
Nicola Walker added: “This is a unique project. Stefan has created such a beautiful, funny and complicated world and I’m excited to be stepping into Ian and Emma’s marriage with Sean.”
Meanwhile, Stefan Golaszewski said: “It's amazing to get to work with Sean and Nicola. They're actors of such depth, truth and warmth and I can't wait to go on this journey with them.”
Elsewhere, Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama Commissioning, commented: “The extraordinary depth and complexity of Stefan’s characters calls for two of our most talented and loved actors. Enter Nicola and Sean. It’s always a privilege to have you on the BBC.”
The date that we can see Marriage on our screens has yet to be announced, but we're definitely looking forward to this one.
