CORONATION Street star James Craven has landed a role in a huge Netflix project, just weeks after quitting the soap.
The actor – who played rapist Aaron Sandford in the ITV soap – filmed his final scenes on the cobbles back in June and has already got to work on Geek Girl.
James is starring alongside Emily Carey, who has made a name for herself appearing in Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider and House Of Dragon.
According to Imdb, the upcoming series tells the story of an ‘awkward, neurodivergent teenager Harriet Manners whose life is turned upside down when she is spotted to be a model and embarks on a life-affirming journey of self-discovery as she balances high school and high fashion’.
James’ role is yet to be officially announced, but the hotly anticipated show, which is based on the books by Holly Smale, also stars Sarah Parish and Jemima Rooper.
