The actor, who is favourite among fans thanks to his roles in This Is England, Line of Duty and The Irishman, will be reprising his role as Andy for the drama.

Stephen's character Andy, who was found collapsed at the end of the movie, will be back but it's not known in which capacity due to the movie's cliffhanger ending.
The five-part series will also see familiar faces from the film back in their roles including Hannah Walters, Ray Panthaki, Stephen McMillan, Taz Skyler, Gary Lamont, Hannah Traylen and Izuka Hoyle.
