Nicola Walker and Sean Bean star in first look images for BBC drama Marriage
The Unforgotten star teams up with Game of Thrones' Sean Bean to play a married couple in this upcoming drama.
BBC One has shared a first-look of Nicola Walker and Sean Bean in drama Marriage, teasing the stars' upcoming roles as a long-term couple.
The photos show The Split star in character as Emma and Time's Bean as Ian, a married couple of 30 years who navigate the insecurities, hopes and fears of their relationship.
In the first-look, we see an intimate moment between Ian and Emma, as well as the couple on a shopping trip and the pair loading up a car.
The four-parter, written and directed by BAFTA winner Stefan Golaszewski, explores the risk of Ian and Emma's long-term relationship and also stars New Tricks' James Bolam, Ragdoll's Henry Lloyd-Hughes and Mood's Chantelle Alle.
The BBC announced the series in September last year with filming set to begin soon afterwards.
