Happy New Year everyone! As always, we are excited for the new year and will keep you up to date on all the latest in Matt’s acting career.
Megan predicts this will be a big year for the Yorkshire actor who has already proven to us that he’s more than Neville Longbottom (although we still love Neville dearly.) 2015 saw Matthew gain three new roles which will finally be released this year. Four if you count a voiceover for a possible animated show. Last year also included him breaking the internet with a certain photoshoot that has furthered his status as a “hottie.” (But try not to embarrass him by talking about his looks, though it may be hard *wink*)
We already have a myriad of things to look forward to this year so let’s take a look.
1. Ripper Street Series 4
Matt will be starring as PC Drummond in Ripper Street‘s 4th series. The series will be available exclusively for Amazon Prime Members in the UK from 15th January 2016.
2. A Celebration of Harry Potter
Matthew is one of the guests for the third annual Celebration of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. The weekend will include question and answer sessions, autographs and a night event in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We will hopefully be there to cover the event. Tickets and vacation packages can be purchased at Universals’ website.
3. Me Before You Release
Matt Lewis’ newest film, Me Before You, will be released on March 4th in the United States (and we assume the UK as well.) Matt stars as Patrick alongside Emilia Clarke (Lou) and Sam Claflin (Will). No word yet on when/where a world premiere will be. Hopefully we will have a trailer soon. Stay tuned!
Update: The film has been pushed back to its original release date of June 3rd
4. Happy Valley Series 2
Matthew will also be appearing in Happy Valley‘s second series playing the character of Sean. A release date has not been announced.
5. A New Role?
It’s been a while since we’ve had some casting news. Hopefully an exciting project is approaching. If you could choose any role for Matt, what would it be?
What are you looking forward to seeing Matt Lewis in this year?

Wednesday, December 2, 2015 at 10:22 am | Comments Off on Video: Matt Lewis in Ripper Street Trailer; Release Date Revealed |
The first trailer for Ripper Street’s 4th series has been released by Amazon UK. The trailer comes with the tagline “The battle for Whitechapel is just around the corner.” In the trailer we get our first look at Matt Lewis as PC Drummond alongside Matthew Macfadyen and Jerome Flynn.
It had also been announced that series 4 of Ripper Street will be available exclusively for Amazon Prime Members in the UK from 15th January 2016. No word yet on when it will be available for other countries.
A larger synopsis for Ripper Street may be read below:
Haunted by the failure to catch London’s most evil killer, Jack the Ripper, Inspector Edmund Reid now heads up the notorious H Division – the toughest police district in the East End. Charged with keeping order in the blood-stained streets of Whitechapel, Reid and his men find themselves fighting to uphold justice and the rule of law; but always in the background lurks the fear of the Ripper – is he back for another reign of terror? Rich episodic storylines meld with the intrigue of a criminal underworld festering on the hard streets of Victorian London, following the battle of the men whose job it is to bring the law to the lawless.

Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at 9:54 pm | Comments Off on Matt Lewis Talks Upcoming Projects in New Interview |
In a new interview with ripitup.com.au, Matt Lewis discusses a bunch of his upcoming projects. The interview with the Australian website comes before his appearances at Supernova Pop Culture Expo later this month.
In a short quote on his upcoming film Me Before You and working with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin he says, “It was just a really nice environment on set [with them], and the book that the script is based on is a lovely piece of literature.” Me Before You is based on the book of the same name by Jojo Moyes and has a release date of June 3rd 2016.
Matt also discusses filming for Series 2 of Happy Valley and Series 4 of Ripper Street which he has been filming simultaneously. Filming for Happy Valley finished recently and Ripper Street will continue filming in January after a holiday break.
“I’ve come back here [to London] for the moment – I’ve got this cold because it’s miserable here,” he says. “The last few days have been pretty intense. I can’t really say what I was doing without giving away too much of my character [in Happy Valley], but it was intense and I’m quite rundown.” It’s been fantastic [working on both shows], but it’s been quite heavy doing two jobs in two different countries.”
He can’t get away from the interview without a quick mention of Neville and Harry Potter and states: “I’ve done quite a few weirdly different things to Neville since then. I feel like in my career I’ve definitely moved on, but it’s still such a massive part of my life – it’s not something that you can easily forget,” he states. “It’s been the very foundation of the rest of my career, particularly amongst the fanbase. I’m very, very fortunate to have some incredibly fantastic fans. I’m under no illusion that the vast majority are fans of Harry Potter and that’s not a bad thing. I don’t mind at all.”
