Stephen Graham has bagged a lead role in an upcoming Netflix series, Bodies, which spans 150 years.
The Irishman actor is set to star in the nail-biting experience that will take viewers through the crime world spanning over a century with new clues appearing as time goes by. Based on the Si Spencer novel of the same name, the show will follow the same victim throughout the series.
BBC bosses tease Stephen's role as "central to the story" and will be anything but straightforward. Described as a "mind-bending trip", the story will slowly unravel as the decades pass, keeping audiences on their toes.

The eight-part thriller features a star-studded cast including The Queen’s Gambit’s Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, who will play one of the four detectives, DS Whiteman, while Unorthodox’s Shira Haas stars as DC Maplewood. Amaka Okafor from The Responder will feature as DS Hasan, while Poldark’s Kyle Soller completes the quartet of detectives as DI Hillinghead.
Other details of the show have been closely guarded by producers but a spokesperson from Netflix has offered a brief synopsis on what to expect. They said: "Four detectives in four different eras of London find themselves investigating the same murder – an unidentified body in Whitechapel – uncovering a conspiracy spanning 150 years."
Bodies is expected to air later in the year.
