Stephen Graham (The Virtues, Line of Duty), Tom Courtenay (45 Years, The Aeronauts) and Peter Mullan (Mum, Top Of The Lake) have joined the cast of The North Water, See-Saw Films’ adaptation of Ian McGuire’s Arctic whaling novel for BBC Two.
The trio will support leads Colin Farrell and Jack O’Connell on the four-part miniseries, which is written and directed by Lean on Pete and 45 Years’ Andrew Haigh.
Farrell plays harpooner Henry Drax, who sets sail on a whaling expedition to the Arctic with Patrick Sumner (O’Connell), a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as the ship’s doctor.
Graham plays Captain Brownlee — who commands the Volunteer ship on which the characters set sail — and Courtenay features as the ship’s owner. Mullan appears in episode four in a “pivotal role.”
The production has just spent three weeks filming on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. They journeyed as far as 81 degrees north to film sequences in the pack ice, which BBC Studios believes is the furthest point north a drama has ever been shot before.
