Netflix is back with another crime series, Stay Close, which is scheduled for release on December 31, 2021.
The plot follows the story of three people, all of whom have dark secrets from their past which they are hiding. Megan is a working mother of three, Ray, a documentary photographer, and Broome is a detective. However, their seemingly stable life is turned upside down when a friend of Megan's reveals some shocking news that has a terrible impact on the lives of all three of them.
The cast of 'Stay Close'
Stay Close brings an amazing lineup of actors starring in the lead roles of the miniseries. Before Stay Close drops on Netflix, here is a look at the cast of the series.
1) Richard Armitage as Ray
Ray is a documentary photographer who is fed up with his stagnant life and his monotonous job, where he feels stuck. The part is played by English actor Richard Armitage. Armitage made his breakthrough in 2002 with his role as John Standring in the BBC miniseries Sparkhouse. He also landed the role of Steven in the independent film Frozen.
However, it was his role as dwarf king and leader Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit that brought him international acclaim.
2) Cush Jumbo as Megan
Megan plays a working mother of three children in Stay Close. The role is played by actress and writer Cush Jumbo.
