Eve Hewson, the actress daughter of rocker Bono, is heading to the small screen after landing a role in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming TV series The Knick.

The This Must Be The Place star, 22, has been cast alongside Clive Owen in the 10-part show, which is based in 1900s New York and will centre around groundbreaking surgeons and staff at Knickerbocker Hospital during a period of high mortality rates and a lack of antibiotics.

Kristen Stewart's ex-boyfriend Michael Angarano has also joined the line-up, which includes Andre Holland and Sinister's Juliet Rylance, according to Deadline.com.

Production on the programme, which will air on the Cinemax cable network, is due to begin in late September (13).
