We now have the names of those joining the Hercule cast alongside Edward Bluemel

They are set to join Edward Bluemel in a new adaptation chronicling the story of the world’s greatest detective (Agatha Christie’s Poirot) – and how he became it, which is due to commence filming soon, primarily in Liverpool.

Who are the new members of the Hercule cast

As pictured above, we have Henry Ashton (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder), James D’Arcy (Oppenheimer, Constellations), Calvin Demba (Supacell, Life), Phil Dunning (Smoggie Queens, Am I Being Unreasonable?), Jack Gleeson (House of Guinness, In the Land of the Saints and Sinners), Tamsin Greig (Riot Women, Friday Night Dinner), James Nesbitt (Cold Feet, Run Away), Guy Remmers (The Buccaneers, Lessons), Rebecca Rittenhouse (His & Hers, Maggie) and Mawaan Rizwan (Juice, The Split Up).

The press release reminds us:

The series is an intimate study of Hercule Poirot the man and an epic portrait of Britain between the wars. The series will centre around three of Christie’s early stories, while also introducing Hercule Poirot to future friends and allies and one particular nemesis…

We look forward to trailers and more news, hopefully later this year after filming. We’ll bring you the news when we find it.
