Fresh from last year’s TV epic, ‘War and Peace’, James Norton will be starring in another big-budget series, with a lead role in the BBC’s brand new thriller ‘McMafia’.
Following the international triumph of ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ‘The Night Manager’, the BBC will no doubt be hoping to capture the same global audience with this epic tale of a family gone bad, and are spending a reported £2million an episode.
Based on the best-selling novel by Misha Glenny, ‘McMafia’ tells the story of a family whose murderous past comes back to haunt them, with James starring Alex Godman, a young man raised by Russian exiles with a mafia history, but who has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of that criminal past.
Today sees the release of the first image from the eight-part series, where we see James’ character Alex at a family funeral, alongside his mother Oksana, played by Maria Shukshina.
BBC
When we first meet him, Alex is building his own legitimate business and forging a life with his girlfriend Rebecca (Juliet Rylance). However, Alex is soon forced to confront his values to protect those he loves.
‘McMafia’ is currently filming in London, with production set to move soon to Croatia.
Joining James are David Strathairn (’The Bourne Ultimatum’, ‘Good Night, Good Luck’), Faye Marsay (’Love Nina’, ‘Game Of Thrones’), Juliet Rylance (’The Knick’, ‘Frances Ha’), and Maria Shukshina (’Yolki 3’, ‘Terrorist Ivanona’) as Oksana.
James Norton’s star continues to rise. He remains among the favourites to be chosen to fill the shoes of Daniel Craig as the next 007. His versatility has been proven with his role of a jazz-loving vicar in ‘Grantchester’, the psychotic Tommy Lee Royce in ‘Happy Valley’ and a soul-searching prince in last year’s Russian epic ‘War and Peace’. Is there nothing he can’t do?

Actor James Norton was seen cycling on a rickety-looking period bicycle as he filmed scenes for the new period crime drama Grantchester. Norton plays a vicar-turned-sleuth in the six-part ITV adaptation of James Runcie's novel Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death, which is being shot around the famous university city. The 28-year-old actor who has most recently been on our screens in the BBC drama Death Comes To Pemberley, looked like he was having a tough time pedalling as he rode along the famous Cambridge Backs.

The 30-year-old was back in his vicar's dog collar as he filmed scenes in historic King's Parade in the city centre. Norton, who plays vicar Sidney Chambers, was seen practising his lines and also checking his mobile phone in between takes for the series, which premiered exactly a year ago. The actor filmed many of his scenes for Grantchester in the city earlier last month, including one where he stripped off and swam in a river in scenes reminiscent of Mr Darcy's famous lake scene in the BBC's Pride and Prejudice. On that occasion he was joined by fellow actor Robson Green, who plays Detective Inspector Geordie Keating, and the two of them took off their clothes and jumped in the water.
