"Game of Thrones" star Jack Gleeson and "Love/Hate's" Charlie Murphy are set to star in a new series being filmed in Ireland by the co-creator of the popular Netflix show "Ozark", according to reports.
Gleeson, who played the much-hated King Joffrey in Game of Thrones, and Murphy, who has also starred in "Peaky Blinders" and "Happy Valley", are set to team up with Ozark co-creator Mark Williams for Dutch-Belgian thriller series "Safe Harbour".
US entertainment outlet Deadline reports that filming for the new eight-part series has already begun in Rotterdam, with additional filming set to take place in Ireland and Belgium.
The series, which also features Game of Thrones star Alfie Allen and "Marie Antoinette's" Martijn Lakemeier, follows a gifted hacker (Allen) and his ambitious friend (Lakemeier" as they attempt to crack their way into a tech billionaires' club.
"They are plucked from quiet obscurity and plunged headfirst into the chaos of organized crime when they cross paths with the Irish mob," Deadline said in a recent report.
Gleeson and Murphy will play siblings who form the head of a crime family, Deadline reports.
The pair enlist the services of the hacker and his friend in an attempt to hack into Rotterdam Harbor - Europe's largest shipping port - and import drug shipments undetected.
Deadline additionally reports that a "big name" is being sought to play Murphy and Gleeson's father in the new series.
Showrunner Williams described the upcoming series as an "exciting, edge-of-your-seat" drama.
"At the core of this exciting, edge-of-your-seat series is a family of friends, who find themselves in dangerous, life-changing situations with some very bad players who force our heroes to challenge themselves and each other to grow as people," Williams told Deadline.
"It all adds up to an entertaining show especially when you throw in the high-octane action in exotic European port locations and tense thrills along with splashes of romance and humor."
