The exciting news comes after Kit and Rose made a rare appearance in London on Friday after spending much of 2020 away from the spotlight.
The couple looked low-key as they walked their dog Whippet through the streets of the capital, while bundling up against the cold for their first sighting since they were spotted at the Golden Globes in January.
And the co-stars recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary, after tying the knot in June 2018 at Rose’s spectacular 12th-century Wardhill Castle in Aberdeenshire.

Speaking to Stylist magazine about her time locked up, Rose said: ‘I am incredibly grateful. My husband and I were lucky enough to be locked in the field.
She continued: ‘We raised a locked up puppy. We were trying to carry on a conversation over the dinner table, talking about nothing but what we would eat the next day.
“It’s been an extraordinary moment for all of us, it certainly slowed us down.”

Earlier this week, Kit recounted how he grew up idolizing his mother, playwright Deborah Jane Catesby, who avoided gender roles with him and his brother John.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: ‘I ordered a Mighty Max and she bought me a Polly Pocket. I ordered an Action Man and got a doll; it was very gender fluid from the beginning. And I followed him. ‘

The Game of Thrones star went on to say that he believes some men have a hard time expressing their feelings due to attitudes handed down from World War II.
He said: ‘I feel like emotionally men have a problem, a blockage, and that blockage comes from WWII, passed down from grandfather to father to son.
‘We don’t talk about how we feel because he shows weakness, because he’s not masculine. Having played a man who was silent, who was heroic, I feel like, in the future, that’s a role that I don’t want to play anymore. ‘
Kit added that she doesn’t think the world needs to see a “male role” anymore.
The star played Jon Snow serially for his entire run from 2011 to 2019 and earned rave reviews for his performance.
However, the show’s finale was criticized for being a disappointment, and despite being ready for two gongs at this year’s BAFTAs, the series was left empty-handed.
She had been nominated for Costume Design and Moment Moment, but she didn’t get the scoop either.
He said, ‘I ordered a Mighty Max and she bought me a Polly Pocket. I ordered an Action Man and got a doll; it was very gender fluid from the beginning. And I went with that ‘
Kit will appear in the upcoming superhero movie Eternals, where he will play Dane Whitman, a human warrior who possesses a mystical sword.
The actor will star in the film, which is scheduled to release in February 2021, alongside Richard Madden, Gemma Chan and Angelina Jolie.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Kit and Rose for comments.
New role: Rose will play Louise in the film alongside Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot and Death on the Nile hits theaters on October 9.
