Toby Kebbell has been announced as part of the cast of Prime Video's upcoming U.K. crime thriller series 'Dirty', joining Samantha Morton and Phoebe Dynevor.
Toby Kebbell is set to join the cast of the upcoming U.K. crime thriller series Dirty, as announced by Variety on September 9, 2026. The series, created by Matt Charman, known for his work on Bridge of Spies, aims to delve into the complexities of crime and morality. Kebbell will be joining already confirmed cast members Samantha Morton and Phoebe Dynevor in this intriguing new project.
In Dirty, Kebbell’s character has not yet been specified. However, his addition is expected to enhance the series’ narrative depth. Dynevor plays the lead role of trainee detective Eva Bennett, who returns to Manchester and finds herself entangled in a homicide investigation led by her estranged mother, Detective Chief Inspector Lois Mercer, portrayed by Morton. The series promises a compelling mix of familial tension and crime as Eva navigates complex relationships with her powerful mother while uncovering long-hidden family secrets.
Dirty focuses on Eva Bennett’s challenging circumstances as she grapples with her mother's fierce reputation. As the story unfolds, Eva discovers her mother’s troubling past and the violent legacy that shadows their connection, creating a tension between personal loyalty and the pursuit of justice. Alongside Kebbell, Morton’s character is involved with Ashley Rutherford, played by Matt Charman, who aims to leverage his wealth and influence to dominate local power structures, including the police and government.
The Dirty series is set to begin production later this year, produced by Binocular Productions in conjunction with Amazon MGM Studios. With a strong ensemble cast and a talented writer at the helm, the project is generating excitement among fans of character-driven crime dramas. Kebbell’s recent performance as Robert Chartoff in I Play Rocky at TIFF will undoubtedly bring added attention to Dirty as viewers look forward to his contributions in this complex story.
Toby Kebbell has made notable contributions to the industry with his recent roles in For All Mankind and Servant, as well as his acclaimed performance in the Black Mirror episode “The Entire History of You.” His filmography includes works such as Warcraft, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and RocknRolla, proving his versatility across various genres.
Fans can expect Kebbell to bring a nuanced performance to the character yet to be revealed in Dirty, adding another dimension to an already promising narrative.
The addition of Toby Kebbell to Dirty signifies the project's rising caliber and suggests a commitment to crafting storytelling that appeals to audiences looking for depth in crime dramas.
