Netflix confirmed the exciting new additions on Tuesday, with the actors joining a strong new line-up alongside leads Andrew Scott and Emily Blunt.

According to the early synopsis, "Walk the Blue Fields" follows a bride whose wedding day takes an unexpected turn when a past love triangle resurfaces, forcing her to confront a life-changing decision.
