The Syndicate series four is set to return to screens very soon and it looks like Joe will be in good company. Line of Duty star Neil Morrissey is fronting the cast, while Inbetweeners star Emily Head and Last Tango in Halifax star Katherine Rose Morley also join.
The synopsis for the drama describes it as "a brand-new story about a syndicate of low paid kennel workers who think they've won the lottery but have been robbed of their ticket. The chase to confront the culprit takes us to the wealthy French Riviera where the young syndicate find themselves well out of their depth".
