Charlie Hunnam, the gifted British actor from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, has remarkably etched his place in showbiz with his dynamic performances and magnetic charisma on screen. Born on April 10, 1980, his foray into acting commenced with roles in TV shows such as the edgy series ‘Queer as Folk,’ in which he plays a pivotal character.

Throughout his career, Hunnam has portrayed a diverse range of characters, from his heartfelt portrayal in ‘Nicholas Nickleby’ to the fierce Raleigh Becket in the futuristic ‘Pacific Rim.’ His cinematic journey is eclectic, with notable films like ‘Crimson Peak,’ ‘The Lost City of Z,’ and ‘King Arthur: Legend of the Sword’ enriching his portfolio.
Being a stalwart in both television and movies, Hunnam persistently enchants audiences across the globe. His commitment to cherry-picking profound roles over volume has positioned him as a unique luminary in Hollywood. As fans anticipate his forthcoming acts, we delve into the intriguing prospects ahead for this illustrious actor. Here’s a comprehensive catalog of Charlie Hunnam’s upcoming movies and TV endeavors!
1. Criminal (TBA)
Currently in its filming stage, ‘Criminal’ is an Amazon Prime 8-episode crime series directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (at least the first four episodes). Ed Brubaker and author Jordan Harper serve as showrunners. Based on the award-winning graphic novel series by Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the show follows Leo (Hunnam), a master thief who thinks three steps ahead but all his plans are devoid of guns and violence. Other thieves consider him a coward, especially considering his father, Tommy, who was sent to prison for the murder of Teeg Lawless, the most feared man in the city. Joining Hunnam are Adria Arjona, Emilia Clarke, Luke Evans, Richard Jenkins, and John Hawkes. A release date has not been decided yet but the anticipation builds steadily.
2. Monster Season 3 (TBA)
Netflix has roped in Hunnam to play serial killer Ed Gein in the third season of its popular biographical crime drama series ‘Monster.’ Created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the series delves into the lives of notorious criminals, with each season focusing on a different one. Season 1 shows serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and Season 2, which was released on September 19, 2024, shows the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents in 1996.
Ed Gein, AKA Butcher of Plainfield, gained notoriety in the late 1950s after it was found that he not only killed multiple people but also exhumed corpses from graveyards, collecting their bones and skin as souvenirs. His singularly scary personality has been used as an inspiration for many pop culture characters, like Buffalo Bill in ‘Silence of the Lambs’ (1991) and Norman Bates in ‘Psycho’ (1960). Production of ‘Monster’ Season 3 will begin in October. A release date is yet to be announced.
