Hollywood star Tim Roth has been spotted filming in Liverpool for Sky Atlantic crime drama Tin Star.

The 58-year-old actor has earned international recognition for his roles in blockbuster movies like The Incredible Hulk, Planet of the Apes and Invincible.

But many will know him from his work with award-winning director Quentin Tarantino, appearing in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and The Hateful Eight.

The London-born actor was on North John Street this afternoon as he reprises his role as Jack Worth for the third season of Tin Star.

The highly-acclaimed drama focuses on a Metropolitan Police detective [Tim Roth] who takes over the job of chief of police in a Canadian town.

The first season premiered in 2017 and was well received with the second season airing earlier this year.

Season three will be the final season, and will be set entirely in Liverpool after Roth's character hauled his family to the UK to deal with his past.

With filming underway, it is expected to air next year.

Sky’s Cameron Roach told Den of Geek in a statement : "We are thrilled to announce a final season of Tin Star. The combination of Rowan’s [Joffe] imagination and the central performances led by Tim Roth mark Tin Star as a standout example of British creativity."

Tim was seen wearing dark clothes and talking through the scene with members of the crew as he shot for the last series.

There was no sign of his fellow co-stars, including Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, who plays the morally bankrupt Vice President of Stakeholder Relations for North Stream Oil (who may not return for season three) or Rogue One's Genevieve O'Reilly, who plays Angela, Jack's wife.
