![]() ![]() ![]() WIyHAr7FBp- BBC Studios Press Office September 11, 2019 Richard Dormer leads cast in thriller The Watch with Adam Hugill, joining production inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. Lara Rossi will play Vimes’ wife Lady Sybil, and Sam Adewunmi plays the villain Carcer Dun, indicating that The Watch takes some inspiration from Night Watch, one of the most political of the Vimes novels. ( This tweet from one of the writers suggests that The Watch will include more LGBTQ+ content than Pratchett’s novels.) Adam Hugill will play the heroic Captain Carrot, and Maltese actress Marama Corlett ( The City and the City) will play the werewolf Angua. Jo Eaton-Kent, a genderfluid actor, will play Constable Cheery, a forensics expert whose role in the Discworld universe is roughly analogous to being transgender. ![]() Game of Thrones fans will recognize Dormer as Beric Dondarrion, but he also has a long career on stage and screen, most recently starring in the arctic thriller Fortitude – also as a local police chief, albeit a much less likable one than Vimes. Northern Irish actor Richard Dormer will star in the lead role as grizzled and cynical police commander Sam Vimes. BBC America’s Discworld miniseries The Watch just announced its main cast, adapting Terry Pratchett‘s novels about crime and local politics in the fantasy city of Ankh Morpork. ![]()
