Former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite has joined the cast of ITV drama The Tower for its upcoming second series.
Called The Tower II: Death Message, the new series is an adaptation of the second novel in Kate London's crime series and will see the return of Gemma Whelan as DS Sarah Collins, Tahirah Sharif as PC Lizzie Adama, Jimmy Akingbola as DC Steve Bradshaw and Emmett J Scanlan as DI Kieran Shaw.
Outhwaite, who will play Cathy Teel, will be joined on the cast by fellow newcomers Niamh Cusack and Ella Smith.
Screenwriter Patrick Harbinson said: "It's a tribute to the quality of Kate's novels and her complex female characters that we have been able to attract these three brilliant actresses to The Tower."
The series is currently being filmed ahead of an expected broadcast early next year.
