Ted Lasso star fronts new Netflix thriller with star-studded A-List cast

ONE of the stars from Ted Lasso is set to front a new Netflix thriller with star-studded A-List cast.

Hannah Waddingham has gone from strength to strength, hosting the Eurovision Song Contest as well as her own Christmas variety show.

The actress played businesswoman Rebecca Welton on Ted Lasso on the Apple TV+ show from the series inception in 2020.

Her latest project will come in the form of a Netflix mystery film called The Woman in Cabin 10.

The global streaming giant has announced that Academy Award nominated actress Keira Knightley will lead the cast of the forthcoming drama.

Hannah, 50, and Keira, 39, will be joined by the likes of Guy Pearce and Star Trek: Discovery star David Ajala.

Based off the bestselling novel by Ruth Ware, the film will follow a journalist who is relaxing aboard a luxury yacht.

She witnesses a passenger who is thrown overboard, but will then be told that it never happened and everyone is accounted for.

According to the Netflix site Tudum, she will be told that she must have dreamed of the incident and will not be believed by anyone onboard.

Trying to find answers, she will then look to see what or who was behind it, putting her own life in danger in the process.

Other huge names in the world of acting complete the lineup as supporting roles in the film.

Kaya Scodelario first shot to fame in the hit E4 teen drama Skins and since then she has had huge roles in both TV and film projects.

She starred in the Maze Runner series and has had roles in Wuthering Heights, The Gentlemen, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The actress will also be amongst the cast alongside the likes of BAFTA nominee David Morrissey and Misbehaviour star Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

There is no release date for the film just yet, however the streamer has announced that the film is in production.
