David Tennant will portray former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in a new ITV drama, it has been announced.
Along with Tennant and Levieva, Litvinenko will also star Catastrophe’s Mark Bonnar, and Small Axe’s Neil Maskell.
The drama, co-produced by ITV and Nordic Entertainment Group, will also focus on the Scotland Yard officers who worked for a decade to uncover those responsible for the murder of the Russian defector.
“In late 2006, Alexander Litvinenko was a living witness to his own murder,” Kay said in a statement.
