This week the streamer announced Thomas has been added to the cast alongside Harry Lawtey, Timothy Spall, Gemma Whelan, and Sophie Willan.
Idris leads the six-episode series and also serves as an executive producer.
The Lords’ Day follows former British spy Harry Jones (Idris), and is based on a 2007 novel by the same name from Michael Dobbs (House of Cards), who is a member of the U.K.’s House of Lords in addition to being an author.
