Also joining the series are Tremarco (“Adolescence,” “The Responder”) as John Lennon’s guardian Aunt Mimi, Darci Shaw (“A Thousand Blows,” “This City Is Ours”) as Cynthia Lennon, Ryan Sampson (“Mr Bigstuff,” “Brassic”) as Liverpool promoter Alan Williams, Archie George as singer Tony Sheridan, Jorden Myrie (“Sherwood,” “The Strays”) as Lord Woodbine, Lea Drinda (“The Sound of Falling,” “Where’s Wanda?”) as Astrid Kirchherr, Tash Major (“Finding Emily,” “Saviour”) as Dot Rhone, and Louis McCartney (“Stranger Things: The First Shadow”), who will play Ringo Starr.
They join the previously announced cast including Rhys Mannion as John Lennon, Ellis Murphy as Paul McCartney, Harvey Brett as George Harrison, Louis Landau as Stu Sutcliffe, Patrick Gilmore as Pete Best, and Casper von Bülow as Voormann.
