Fans of period drama Downton Abbey will recognise Ed, who played footman James "Jimmy" Kent between 2012 and 2014. The 33-year-old actor, who is also known for portraying Irish smuggler Stephen Bonnet in Outlander, will play a character by the name of Rhys, whose recent memoir has garnered him acclaim and pressure to launch a political career.

Former EastEnders star Tilly will play a member of the English aristocracy, Lady Phoebe, who is described as "as sweet and kind as she is rich, famous, and chaotic".

Meanwhile, Amy, who has also previously appeared in the BBC soap as well as Our Girl and Harlan Coben's Safe, will play a literature major named Nadia, who aspires to be an author like Rhy but has made some big mistakes in her past.

Season four is currently filming the UK

As fans will recall - and warning, there are spoilers ahead - the third season ended with a huge twist that saw Joe fake his own death, murder his wife Love (Victoria Pedretti) and abandon his infant son after Mariane managed to escape his clutches.

In the final few moments, it's revealed that Joe has gone to France's capital city, perhaps hoping to find Marianne there since it is her hometown. "All I know, mon amour, is I'll search the world if I have to," Joe's internal monologue says as he saunters down a bustling Parisian street.

How Joe makes the transition from France to England is not known yet, but we can't wait to find out!
