Toby Kebbell Added to Prime Video's Crime Drama 'Dirty'
Toby Kebbell has been cast in the upcoming Prime Video series 'Dirty,' joining Phoebe Dynevor and Samantha Morton. The show follows a trainee detective who returns to Manchester and uncovers her estranged mother's criminal activities. Kebbell will also appear in the film 'I Play Rocky' at TIFF.
Kebbell, a British actor, is the latest addition to the Prime Video series. He is currently promoting his role as Robert Chartoff in the Amazon MGM Studios film "I Play Rocky," which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.
The series is penned by Matt Charman, known for writing "Bridge of Spies." The narrative centers on a trainee detective who returns to Manchester and joins a homicide case led by her estranged mother, eventually uncovering the mother's illicit activities, creating a moral dilemma between family loyalty and legal duty.
This casting could strengthen Prime Video's crime drama slate, potentially drawing viewers interested in complex family dynamics within police procedurals. The show's exploration of moral compromise may resonate with audiences who appreciate morally grey characters. Additionally, Kebbell's involvement might boost the series' prestige, while the TIFF premiere of his film could generate cross-promotional interest, affecting how the industry perceives the project's star power.
