There will be a void in this series as Helen McCrory, who played matriarch Polly Gray, tragically died of cancer last year aged 52.

Speaking to The Guardian about her death Cillian Murphy said: “She would have been in series six if the pandemic hadn’t put everything on hold.

“We were just five days away from shooting in March 2020 when the lockdown was announced. Helen was the heart of that show and it was hard to make it without her. Really hard.

“There was this huge absence on the set. We all felt it. She died while we were shooting.

“She was too young. You can’t help but think of all the amazing roles she would have had.”
