Viceroy!!
****UPDATE: July 31. He is playing the Viceroy! At least that is what his IMDB is saying. Looks like our guess was good. 😉

We don’t have a huge amount to go on, but here are a couple of references to Patrick Malahide’s involvement in a new epic series currently being filmed called Indian Summers. It also stars Julie Walters (Mrs. Weasley!) and is being co-produced by the very lovely and talented Indira Varma, so it is shaping up to be pretty spectacular.
Actor/singer Ash Nair has posted a couple of photos on his Instagram account. One with Mr. Malahide and one with Julie Walters.
Assistant Director John Bennett has posted a reference to Indian Summers, mentioning both Mr. Malahide and Ms. Walters, on his CV. Here’s a link, be warned it is a PDF file.
He’d make a great Viceroy, right Jonesy?
For more information on Indian Summers, click here. If doesn’t reference Patrick Malahide specifically though it does make mention of a “Viceroy” character. That sounds a suitably important role, so maybe that will be his part. I certainly hope he has lots of scenes with Julie Walters because she is fantastic. Of course, they have already worked together in A Short Stay in Switzerland, so you know they’ll have great chemistry.
