English actor Maxim Baldry, best known for his role on the HBO series Years and Years, is the latest to board the series, and he’ll be joining Will Poulter (Midsommar, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch) and Australian actress Markella Kavenagh (Picnic at Hanging Rock). Read more about the new show below.
Collider brings news about Baldry’s participation in the new show, and the outlet says that he’s locked down a “significant role” in the series. Naturally, they don’t have any information about Baldry’s character, since details about the new show are being kept under tight protection. (The writers had to use fingerprint scans to even get into the writers’ room, which had all its windows taped up to avoid prying eyes.)
Baldry appeared in Mr. Bean’s Holiday when he was a kid back in 2007, and has since shown up on shows like HBO’s Rome and the British soap opera Hollyoaks; he’s also among the several other talented performers to come out of the UK series Skins. But he’s broken out a little with his recent role on HBO’s Years and Years, where he plays a Ukrainian refugee who develops a romantic relationship with one of the male members of the show’s main family who works as a housing officer in Manchester. It’s a supporting role that frankly hasn’t given him enough to leave much of a lasting impression.
