Unforgotten actress Nicola Walker is set to star in brand new BBC One drama Marriage, alongside Sean Bean.

Dealing with the insecurities, ambiguities, hopes and fears that are part of all marriages, the drama will explore the risks and gifts of a long-term intimate relationship.

Nicola Walker teased her part in the new series: "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."

Bean added: "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."

The four-part drama promises to be "an up-close portrait of a marriage, sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always revealing".

Golaszewski revealed little about what fans can expect, but praised the cast: "It's amazing to get to work with Sean and Nicola. They're actors of such depth, truth and warmth and I can't wait to go on this journey with them."

The drama is being produced by The Forge, the production company behind Channel 4 drama Kiri, BBC's The Miniaturist starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Channel 4's new one-episode drama Help starring Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham.

Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama Commissioning, added: "The extraordinary depth and complexity of Stefan's characters calls for two of our most talented and loved actors. Enter Nicola and Sean. It's always a privilege to have you on the BBC."
