Toby Kebbell has signed on for Prime Video's upcoming U.K. crime thriller series «Dirty», joining an ensemble that already includes Phoebe Dynevor and Samantha Morton. The project comes from Matt Charman, the screenwriter known for his work on the Cold War drama «Bridge of Spies».
Kebbell, a British actor with a career spanning both television and film, will appear in the series as part of a cast that continues to take shape. The production marks another high-profile streaming project for the actor, who has previously appeared in major franchises and independent features alike.
Before audiences see him in «Dirty», Kebbell is set to appear in «I Play Rocky», an Amazon MGM Studios production in which he plays Robert Chartoff. That film is scheduled to debut this week at the Toronto International Film Festival, giving the actor a prominent showcase ahead of his work on the Prime Video series.
Details about Kebbell's role in «Dirty» have not been disclosed, and Prime Video has not yet announced a premiere window for the series. The show is being developed as part of the streamer's expanding slate of original programming in the U.K., where it has invested heavily in local productions across genres.
Charman's involvement brings a writer with a track record of tense, character-driven storytelling to the crime thriller format. «Bridge of Spies», which earned him an Academy Award nomination, demonstrated his ability to build suspense within historical and dramatic frameworks, and «Dirty» will test that skill in a contemporary setting.
The casting of Dynevor, who gained international recognition through her role in the period drama «Bridgerton», and Morton, a two-time Oscar nominee known for her work in films such as «In America» and «The Whale», suggests the series is aiming for a mix of rising talent and established dramatic performers.
Kebbell's recent television work includes appearances in series such as «Servant» and «Black Mirror», and he has also been part of major film productions including the «Planet of the Apes» franchise and «Fantastic Four». His range across genres makes him a versatile addition to the «Dirty» cast.
The series is among several crime thrillers currently in development for streaming platforms, a genre that has proven consistently popular with audiences. Prime Video has been building out its library of original series in the U.K., and «Dirty» appears positioned to add a distinctive voice to that catalog.
Additional casting announcements are expected as production moves forward. The project remains in early stages, with no director or additional creative team members publicly attached at this time.
