*Warning: This contains spoilers for drama Wolf.
The BBC has another hit on its hands with its latest crime drama Wolf, a tense thriller based on the Jack Caffery novels by Mo Hayder.
The six-part series sees Ukweli Roach as Caffery, a young detective obsessed with a cold case close to his heart, while a second storyline involves a tense hostage situation – with the synopsis promising a ‘deeply disturbing race against time’ when the two plots become entwined.
It might have you on the edge of your seat, but another aspect of the show which might keep you guessing is where you’ve seen many of the cast members before – as there are some familiar faces in the line-up.

Ukweli Roach as Jack Caffery
Ukweli Roach appears in the drama as our leading man DI Jack Caffery, who becomes obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10-year-old brother during the 1990s.
Viewers may recognise the actor from his role as Jay in StreetDance 3D, or as FBI psychiatrist Robert Borden on series Blindspot.
He has also had roles in Annika, Midwich Cuckoos, Humans, Grantchester, and The Royals.
Iwan Rheon as Molina
a man who poses as a detective to trap the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family in an isolated Welsh country house.
The dark, sadistic character revels in torture, subjecting his captives to a series of mind games – a role that will prove familiar to Rheon.
The Welsh actor previously appeared as the wildly cruel Ramsay Bolton in Game Of Thrones, a role which saw him chop off Greyjoy’s penis, hunt humans with , and to marry him.
As well as this, the actor has also starred in Misfits, The Dirt, Barbarians, Y Golau, and Vicious.
Sacha Dhawan as Honey
Sacha Dhawan teams up with Rheon in the role of Honey, who turns up at the Anchor-Ferrers household with Molina.
Dhawan began his career appearing in ITV’s Out Of Sight and has since nabbed roles in Last Tango in Halifax, An Adventure in Space and Time, The Great, and Marvel series Iron Fist.
He is arguably best known for playing one of Doctor Who’s greatest villains, The Master, a renegade alien that the Time Lord has hunted across time periods and galaxies.
Sian Reese-Williams as DI Maia Lincoln
Soap star Sian Reese-Williams appears in Wolf as DI Maia Lincoln, who was involved in the original investigation into the ‘Donkey Pitch’ murders.

Stevenson has enjoyed a long and varied career on our screens with more than 90 credits to her name, including roles in Death in Paradise, Secret Invasion, The Village, Atlantic, and Riviera.
She is known for her role in the film Truly, Madly, Deeply, for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Owen Teale as Oliver Anchor-Ferrers
Owen Teale appears in the drama as Matilda’s husband Oliver Anchor-Ferrers.
