Sean Bean reunites with Jimmy McGovern for new TV drama

"Game of Thrones" actor Sean Bean will be joining forces again with celebrated screenwriter Jimmy McGovern for a new BBC drama "Broken".
The pair previously worked in acclaimed series "Accused," co-starring Stephen Graham.
Bean, 57, will play Father Michael Kerrigan, a modern Catholic priest with responsibilities for a Northern urban parish, reported Digital Spy.
"I was very excited at the prospect of working with Jimmy McGovern again. His scripts are raw and real and he creates fantastic and interesting characters that resonate with society today. I'm also thrilled to have Ashley Pearce on board as director," Bean said.
McGovern added: "It's fantastic, because I've been trying to work with Sean again ever since he played Tracie Tremarco in Accused, which was astonishing stuff, so I'm over the moon he's jumped on board with 'Broken'.
