Andrew Lincoln returns to British TV screens for the first time in over a decade in this high-octane thriller, Cold Water.
The six-parter sees The Walking Dead star play full-time dad and middle-aged man John, whose failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground prompts his family to relocate from London to the rural Scottish village of Coldwater.
Upon their arrival, John is quickly befriended by charming and confident next-door neighbour Tommy, a pillar in the community.
But John’s wife, Fiona, who is a successful former chef hoping for a fresh start in Coldwater, becomes increasingly suspicious of her husband’s relationship with Tommy, whom she’s convinced is hiding something.
The synopsis continues: “But John remains blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets, and it’s only after a series of unsettling incidents start to occur that John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is.”
When John’s long-repressed rage at his life as a stay-at-home dad comes to a head with “disastrous results”, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend.
Ewen Bremner (Our Flag Means Death, Trainspotting), Indira Varma (Obsession, Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Eve Myles (Hijack, Keeping Faith) also star in the show, which is penned by David Ireland (The Lovers, Ulster American, Cyprus Avenue).
Cold Water comes to ITV this Autumn.
