Promising Irish actor Rory Fleck-Byrne has landed a role opposite big British stars Samantha Morton, Lesley Manville and Jessica Brown-Findlay in Hulu and ITV Encore’s latest series Harlots.

The anticipated TV drama, which aired March 29, follows the story of brothel owner who struggles to raise her daughters in 18th century London, and Byrne plays the love interest to one of the girls. As a theatre actor, the Kilkenny born star has previously had major roles in West End productions such as King Charles III, The Vortex and Disco Pigs, and later this year he'll be seen starring in action-thriller The Foreigner, based on the bestselling novel by Stephen Leather, alongside Pierce Brosnan.
