Jeremy Piven - Harry Gordon Selfridge
Chicago native Harry Gordon Selfridge, a self-made retail entrepreneur brimming with confidence and chutzpah, arrives in London in 1906 ready to transform shopping with the most ambitious department store the world has ever seen. But he doesn't leave his vices, or his demons, at home. Despite his deep love for his wife Rose and their children, and the support of his mother, Harry is vulnerable to the charms of showgirls and the pull of gambling.

Frances O'Connor - Rose Selfridge

Rose Selfridge is Harry's soul mate, providing a true sense of home for her bold yet sometimes unstable husband. An educated woman, a former painter, and a prominent member of society in Chicago, she is something of a fish out of water in the rigidly stratified London society, with its puzzling traditions and expectations. She is dutiful in her quiet beauty and handles Harry's indiscretions with a weary grace – after all, she has seen it all before. But as Selfridges takes off and Harry is home less frequently, a quiet rebellion stirs in the very traditional Rose. Isolated and lonely, she heads to the National Gallery, where a tempestuous friendship with a handsome young artist forms.

Lady Mae Loxley - Katherine Kelly

Lady Mae Loxley, a London socialite, exudes power, influence and sex. Among the social elite who attend her salon, she can make or break reputations in a heartbeat, and her appetite for wielding power is matched only by her appetite for beautiful young men.
Embedded in a marriage of convenience to Lord Loxley, who stays in the country while she stays in the city, Lady Mae is uniquely aware of a woman's power and its limitations. She is forward-thinking in both politics and business and is an active supporter of the women's rights movement. In Selfridges, she sees opportunity not just as a business venture, but also as a platform to enact social change. But for this, she must secure Harry firmly in her debt.

Katherine Kelly - The Actress
Yorkshire native Katherine Kelly has acting in her genes – her Irish-born father, John Kelly, established the Lamproom Theatre in Barnsley, South Yorkshire in 1998. If not performing in a production like Annie or Calamity Jane as a child, she and her siblings would hold court backstage. While Kelly was wildly popular as bad-girl Becky McDonald in the British soap Coronation Street, she is a classically trained graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and her theatrical credits include a stint as a leading lady for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Since leaving her long-running Coronation Street role (for which she won a National Television Award in 2012), she has returned to her roots on the stage to acclaim in Oliver Goldsmiths 1773 comedy, She Stoops to Conquer.

Aisling Loftus - Agnes Towler

Sales girl Agnes Towler is seen by waiter Victor Colleano as a kindred spirit; by Henri Leclair as an ingénue; by her brother as his rock; and by her father as an overreaching fraud. But the intelligent and spirited working class girl -- with little more than pluck, a solid work ethic and a strong moral character -- is still largely unformed. In Harry and Henri's inspiring proximity, she is blossoming, just like the rose she offers Henri for his Selfridges window. In her violent, drunken father's proximity, however, she is in danger of losing everything. Mr Selfridge is so impressed with Agnes he promotes her to a Senior Assistant
