EXCLUSIVE: Star Trek Into Darkness, Black Mirror and Belgravia star Alice Eve has joined the cast of Sky’s upcoming comedy-drama series The Lovers.

Eve will join a cast that includes the likes of Roisin Gallagher (The Fall, The Dry), Johnny Flynn (Beast, Emma) and Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones, Holding).

The series, first unveiled two weeks ago, follows Janet (Gallagher) as supermarket worker who doesn’t care about anything, including her life, and Seamus (Flynn) a handsome, self-centered, political broadcaster with what looks to be a perfect London life.
