The popular series follows seven superhero children adopted by eccentric billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreaves who puts them to work to fight crime.
The seven children are soon faced with the unenviable task of averting the apocalypse as the exihilarating series unfolds and Sheehan, who previously starred in "Love/Hate" and "Misfits", excels in the role of Claus Hargreaves; a flamboyant drug and alcohol addict with an ability to communicate with the dead and temporarily make them corporal.
