The third series of Riviera will feature some familiar faces as well as several new cast members. Ahead of its return on October 15, Express.co.uk has everything you need to know about who’s who, including some exclusive insight from the stars of the show themselves.
Who is in the cast of Riviera season 3?
Georgina Ryland – Julia Stiles
Julia Stiles is back in the lead role of Georgina Ryland in the third series of the crime thriller.
Emerging from the dramatic finale of season two, Georgina is looking to reinvent herself – but soon gets pulled back into an all-too-familiar world.
Speaking about her character at a recent press screening, Stiles said: “One of the things I love about this character is she runs headfirst straight into danger.
“I had always asked ‘Why doesn’t she just go back to New York with all this tragedy and these threatening people around her?’
“But she faces it and it just gets bigger and more dangerous this season.”
Fans will recognise the actor from films like 10 Things I Hate About You, the Bourne franchise and Save the Last Dance.
She also played Lumen Ann Pierce in Dexter, Blue in the show Blue and recently appeared in Hustlers.
Gabriel Hirsch – Rupert Graves
Rupert Graves appears as the new character Gabriel Hirsch in the third season of the show.
Described as a specialist dealing with the restoration of stolen works, he invites Georgina to work with him.
Speaking about their relationship, Graves told Express.co.uk and other press: “I think Gabe is very appreciative of Georgina’s qualities of strength, intelligence and her feistiness.
“But she does keep something in reserve and I think that intrigues Gabriel.”
Graves is probably best known for playing Inspector Lestrade in BBC’s Sherlock but has also appeared in The War of the Worlds, Last Tango in Halifax and The Family.
Nico Eltham – Jack Fox
Jack Fox will also be back as Nico Eltham in the third season of the show, known for being the spoiled and conniving black sheep of the family.
He is riding high after his merciless assault on the Clios Bank and is none too pleased to see Georgina back in the Riviera.
At the recent screening, Fox said of his character: “He craves attention wherever he goes, he’s a bit of a law unto himself.
“He just wants to, and feels like he’s entitled to, run the world.”
The star is one of the Fox acting dynasty and has also appeared in Sanditon, Fresh Meat and Privates.
