BBC One's Atlantis has begun filming its second series.

The cast of the family fantasy show have reunited to start shooting the next run in Chepstow, Wales.

Aiysha Hart, who appears as Ariadne, and Juliet Stevenson, who plays The Oracle, are among the old faces to return, while series two will also welcome new additions Vincent Regan (300) as Dion and Amy Manson (Being Human) as Medea.

Game of Thrones star Robert Pugh - who appeared as Craster in the HBO hit - and Broadchurch actor Peter De Jersey have been confirmed as guest stars for episode one of the new run.

The show's creators Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy said: "It's wonderful to have everyone back in the studio together as we prepare to take Atlantis to new places in series two.

"We have some exciting new additions joining our exceptional cast and some surprises up our sleeve that we can't wait to unleash on the Atlantis audience later this year."

The programme was renewed for a second series back in October, with BBC One controller Charlotte Moore branding the show an "original British drama with the kind of scale and ambition that we've come to expect from the cinema".

The show's star Robert Emms recently named Matt Smith as his dream casting to play the mythical character of Icarus.
