Comedy drama The Outlaws is a major co-production between the BBC and Amazon Prime Video, airing very soon… and what a cast it boasts!
Stephen Merchant is all over the series – formerly known as The Offenders – as creator, director, star and executive producer.
But the 46-year-old comedian and Ricky Gervais collaborator isn’t the only big name attached to the production.
Check out who else is in the all-star cast…
The Outlaws on BBC One: Who is in the cast?
Looking at the cast list, one unlikely name immediately catches the eye.
Hollywood heavyweight Christopher Walken – yes, that Christopher Walken from Annie Hall, The Deer Hunter and Pulp Fiction – plays Frank.
The Oscar-winning actor, 78, explained how he came to be involved in his first British TV series very matter-of-factly.

He told the Independent: “Stephen writes terrific dialogue. Doing this as long as I have, you can spot that pretty quickly.
“He came to my house, we talked and that’s how it happened. That’s how I’ve always lived and it’s how I still live. I do the next best thing.”

Eleanor joked in a post on Instagram: “Community Service never looked so good.”
