John Lynch, Anamaria Marinca & Jenessa Grant Join ‘Tin Star’ Season 2
The Tim Roth and Christina Hendricks drama ‘Tin Star‘ has enlisted a few new faces for next season. John Lynch (‘The Fall’, ‘Sliding Doors’), Anamaria Marinca (‘The Missing’, ‘Mars’) and Jenessa Grant (‘The Handmaid’s Tale’) join the all-star line-up when the show returns for Season 2 in 2019.
At the end of Season 1, Police Chief Jim Worth (Roth), his wife Angela (Genevieve O’Reilly) and their daughter Anna (Abigail Lawrie) were left destroyed by the chaos that had followed Jim and his alcoholic alter ego Jack Devlin from the UK.
The 2nd Season picks up where we left our anarchic and unlikely hero, cut off in the remote Rockies wilderness with his grieving and shell-shocked family struggling to come to terms with their ordeal. Seeking refuge from her own parents, Anna is taken in by the God-fearing Nickel family, headed up by Pastor Johan (Lynch) his wife Sarah (Marinca) and daughter Rosa (Grant), and hidden with the Ammonites – a religious community close to Little Big Bear.
However, the peaceful prairie family are harbouring secrets of their own and it’s not long before Anna is forced to seek her father’s help, as an altogether more hellish threat emerges. If Jim is to find a way to save his family, atone for his sins and be rid of Jack forever he must form an uneasy alliance in the battle for forgiveness…
“We are thrilled to be given a further opportunity to delve deeper into the characters we had such fun within series one,” commented ‘Tin Star’ creator Rowan Joffe and executive producer Alison Jackson in a statement. “A 2nd series of Tin Star lets us build on the established world of Little Big Bear, but also gives the audience a glimpse of another intriguing community and provides us with a family who are strangely unsettling for our hero Jim Worth. We are delighted that John, Anamaria and Jenessa have joined our wonderful cast.”
