LONDON: “Game of Thrones” star Sean Bean and “Unforgotten” actor Nicola Walker have been roped in to essay the central characters in four-part drama collection “Marriage”.

BAFTA-winning author and director Stefan Golaszewski will likely be helming the present for BBC One.

The collection will discover the ups and downs of a long-term relationship.

Bean and Walker will play a married couple, Ian and Emma, who’re negotiating the fears, comforts and frustrations of their 30-year marriage.

“I’m thrilled to be playing opposite the talented Nicola Walker and I’m looking forward to bringing Stefan’s intimate scripts to the screen,” Bean stated in an announcement to BBC.

Walker added, “This is a unique project. Stefan has created such a beautiful, funny and complicated world and I’m excited to be stepping into Ian and Emma’s marriage with Sean.”

The Forge and The Money Men are producing the collection for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Filming on the mission will start quickly.
