Deep Cover isn't Sean's only upcoming project. The Game of Thrones actor is set to star in an eight-part BBC drama, This City is Ours.
Sean plays notorious gang leader, Ronnie Phelan, in the Liverpool-set series, which also stars Sheltand's Julie Graham, Strike's James Nelson-Joyce and This is Going to Hurt's Hannah Onslow.

But when a big cocaine shipment from Colombia goes missing, Ronnie and Michael suspect that their Kingdom is under attack.
The synopsis continues: "This City is Ours explores what happens when Ronnie's son Jamie (Jack McMullen) decides he wants to inherit their kingdom and that there is no longer a place for Michael at the table. Both Michael and Jamie have bold ideas to modernise the gang and they will battle for control of it. But Michael's biggest battle will be to save the woman he loves and the child he has always wanted."
This City is Ours comes to BBC One and iPlayer in spring.
