Stephen Graham has been pictured filming for new BBC drama The North Water.
The Time star, who amazed fans with his performance alongside Sean Bean in the hard-hitting Jimmy McGovern's prison series, is set to appear in a new five-part thriller.
The North Water, which will air on BBC Two this autumn, is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed novel by Ian McGuire and written and directed by Andrew Haigh
The synopsis reads: "The North Water tells the story of Patrick Sumner, a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship's doctor on a whaling expedition to the Arctic.
"But the ferocity of the elements is matched by the violence of his crew mates, with Drax, a harpooner and distinctly brutal force of nature.
"As the true purpose of the expedition becomes clear, confrontation between the two men erupts, taking them on a journey far from solid ground and beyond the safe moorings of civilisation."
A star-studded cast has been announced for the new series, including Jack O'Connell as Patrick Sumner, Colin Farrell as Henry Drax, and Stephen Graham as Captain Brownlee.
The North Water also stars Peter Mullan, Sam Spruell and Roland Møller.
Set in Hull and on the ice floes of the Arctic in the late 1850s, filming for The North Water took place primarily in the Artic , shooting on the frozen seas north of the Svalbard Archipelago.
The cast and production team sailed as far as 81 degrees north to film sequences in the pack ice, the furthest point north it is believed a drama series has ever filmed before.
The North Water will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer this autumn.
