The 12 new cast members join previously announced lead Laura Donnelly in the ensemble. Additional casting will be announced later.

The cast and their roles are:

Olivia Williams (Counterpart, Manhattan) as Lavinia Bidlow, a wealthy spinster and champion of the "Touched," as those with powers are known. She funds the Orphanage where Amalia True (Donnelly) and many of the Touched live via her family's fortune. She's stern and old-fashioned but also strong-willed and clever. She's repped by ICM and ITG in the U.K.

James Norton (Happy Valley) as Hugo Swann, a pansexual posh boy whose charm has about five years left on his lease. He runs a secret club and a side trade in blackmail and is fascinated by the Touched. He's repped by WME and The Artists Partnership in the U.K.

Tom Riley as Augustus "Augie" Bidlow, Lavinia's younger brother and Hugo's best friend. He's unnerved by the Touched but finds himself increasingly drawn to them. He's repped by ICM, Principal Entertainment and Conway Van Gelder Grant.

Ann Skelly as Penance Adair, Amalia's dearest friend and one of the first women to join her cause. She has a genius for invention, is delighted by her power and has a firm sense of morality. She's repped by Conway Van Gelder Grant in the U.K. and The Lisa Richards in Ireland.

Ben Chaplin (Snowden, The Thin Red Line) as Detective Frank Mundi, a gruff, deeply moral officer who trusts no one, including himself. He's caught between the powerful, who tend to ignore the law, and the newly empowered, who ignore the laws of physics. He's repped by UTA, Principal Entertainment and Independent Talent Group.

Pip Torrens (Poldark) as Lord Massen, a former general who may be the only person who sees the havoc the Touched can wreak on the established order — which he'll protect at any cost. He's repped by Independent Talent.

Zackary Momoh (Seven Seconds) as Dr. Horatio Cousens, one of the few successful West Indian doctors in London. His fortunes took a dark turn after he met Amalia and discovered his own ability. He's repped by UTA, Identity Agency Group in the U.K. and Hansen Jacobson.

Amy Manson (Once Upon a Time) as Maladie, who's been warped by a power she doesn't understand and tortured by doctors intent on finding its source. She now lives underground and runs a murderous gang. She's repped by Coronel Group and Independent Talent Group.

Nick Frost (Into the Badlands, Hot Fuzz) as Declan Orrun, aka The Beggar King. He's a charismatic and brutal crime lord who's equally happy to work with Amalia and her cause and to sell her out. He's repped by UTA, Think Tank Management and Troika.

Rochelle Neil (Episodes) as Annie Carbey, aka Bonfire. A career criminal with the ability to control fire, Annie is happy to hire herself out but is neither impulsive nor cruel; she's just looking out for herself. She's repped by IAG.

Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) as Mary Brighton, who is gentle and surprisingly resilient. After a disappointing career as a singer and a broken engagement, she's going to be great but doesn't know how yet. She's repped by Gersh, Conway Van Gelder Grant and Omni Artists.

Denis O'Hare (Big Little Lies, American Horror Story) as Dr. Edmund Hague, a gifted American surgeon who uses his skills in the coldest, most brutal way possible — but all in the name of progress. He's repped by Innovative Artists.

Heads up!

According to the logline, the series is an epic science-fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.Momoh plays Doctor Horatio Cousens, described as "One of the few successful West Indian physicians in London.

Married with a young son, Horatio’s fortunes took a dark turn when he met Amalia and discovered his own ability. Now he works with her, and with the Beggar King, those who don’t care who is or isn’t ''different.'”

Neil will play Annie Carbey, aka Bonfire, described as "a career criminal who landed the ability to control fire and is happy to hire it out. Came up rough, stayed that way, but she’s neither impulsive nor cruel – just looking out for herself. No matter who she works with or for, Annie trusts only Annie, and the fire."

Momoh is in the midst of a breakout moment after garnering critical acclaim for Netflix's Seven Seconds with Regina King and Russell Hornsby. In November, he'll be on the big screen in the biopic Harriet and The Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep. Neil, who has recurred in Showtime's Episodes, can be seen in Hulu/Sky Atlantic's second season of Das Boot and the film Terminator: Dark Fate.
