'Rillington Place' star Kevin is to play vicar Charles, who will be a great support to Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton), and Emile will portray his son Ethan, who has been wrongly accused of a crime.
Kevin said: "I am over the moon to be joining the cast of 'Emmerdale'.
"The show has always been a family favourite and my mum is a huge fan.
"The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I am really looking forward to Charles’ storylines in the village."
Emile - whose character Ethan has carved out a successful law career - feels a "tremendous sense of responsibility" in portraying his alter-ego's struggle with the truth.
He said: "Being given the opportunity to play Ethan is an absolute dream come true.
"I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility in articulating his struggle with truth and authenticity and I can only hope that the audience fully engage with him in the same way I have."
Charles and Ethan will appear on screen in the coming months.
'Emmerdale' producer Sophie Roper teased the pair will "send shockwaves through the village".
She said: "We’re delighted to be welcoming Kevin and Emile to the show and this dynamic new father and son duo, are set to send shockwaves through the village as they find themselves embroiled in the heart of a thought-provoking story with one of our most loved families.
"With two actors of such great calibre, they’re certainly set to make their mark on the Dales."
