Andrew Lincoln, famed for his role in The Walking Dead, is set to star in the new ITV thriller Cold Water.
The announcement came today (June 27) from ITV Drama, revealing that the series has been greenlit and will be penned by the award-winning playwright David Ireland, with production by Sister.
Andrew will portray John, a character grappling with repression and a sudden mid-life crisis.
His journey begins after he fails to intervene in a violent incident, which triggers an identity crisis, leading him to leave London for the seemingly tranquil Scottish town of Cold Water. However, his search for peace quickly spirals into something far more sinister.
Joining the cast are Ewen Bremner of Trainspotting fame, Doctor Who's recent guest star Indira Varma, and Eve Myles from Hijack.
Creator David shared his thoughts: "Cold Water started with a question I was asking myself.
"Where do I want to live - the countryside or the city? Such an innocent beginning, but from it came this dark, funny, twisted thriller."
He expressed his delight at Sister's enthusiasm for the script and his excitement over ITV's decision to commission the show.
"And I'm amazed we've managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln. I hope viewers will find it intoxicating."
Polly Hill, Head of ITV Drama, also commented on the upcoming series: "We are very excited for ITV to be the home for this brilliant new thriller exploring masculinity, religion and ultimately murder."
"David's scripts are wonderful, and original and have attracted an incredible cast led by Andrew Lincoln."
"It promises to be a really unmissable drama and I am delighted to be working with Jane Featherstone again and her brilliant team at Sister."

As a screenwriter, David E. Kelley is used to injecting social commentary into his material — not unlike the way the ancient Greeks entered the city of Troy. But when the creator of shows like The Practice, Big Little Lies and Ally McBeal made his foray into documentary filmmaking – with the ocean sustainability-themed Hope in the Water — the Trojan Horse method of educating was no longer applicable. “If you would leave me to my devices, I probably would’ve had a floating dead body, to talk about the biosecurity risk of people being beheaded in our oceans, but it was not going to be this kind of series,” jokes the prolific producer. “I didn’t proffer that idea. They didn’t ask for it – maybe because they were worried I might suggest something like that.”
