‘Game of Thrones’ Alum John Bradley & Joanne Froggatt Cast in ‘North Shore’ on Paramount+

One of John Bradley‘s next roles will be as a British detective. According to Deadline, Bradley has been cast as Max Wylie in the upcoming Paramount+ series North Shore.

In the series, the future of Max’s career in the police department is in question, due to Max not appearing to be a team player. The future of Max’s marriage is also uncertain, with his wife considering a divorce. Max is then sent to Sydney Harbour in Australia, where British and Australian detectives are sent to investigate the suspicious death of a British cabinet minister’s daughter.

Bradley is well-known for playing Samwell Tarly in Game of Thrones, which aired from 2011-2019 on HBO. His other previous work includes this year’s Marry Me (directed by Kat Coiro) and Moonfall (directed by Roland Emmerich). The series will also star Joanne Froggatt as Abigail Crawford. No other details have been revealed about her character. Froggatt is well-known for playing Anna Bates in ITV’s series Downtown Abbey, as well as its film adaptations Downtown Abbey (2019) and Downtown Abbey: A New Era (2022). Her other previous work includes 2017’s Mary Shelly (directed by Haifaa al-Mansour) and 2016’s A Street Cat Named Bob (directed by Roger Spottiswoode). Last year, she appeared as the titular character in the limited thriller series, Angela Black.
