From the blood-filled, zombie world of The Walking Dead to a quiet backwater Scottish village, Andrew Lincoln is heading off to refreshing new horizons in the TV thriller, ‘Cold Water’, as per Deadline reports. Responsible for the iconic role of lawman Rick Grimes in the popular TV series The Walking Dead, Lincoln appears to have put that chapter behind him and is poised for a new challenge in this British TV thriller.

Turning Thriller Antics

In ‘Cold Water’, Lincoln is to portray John, a subdued middle-aged man grappling with the life of a stay-at-home dad. His otherwise uneventful life takes a fascinating turn when he moves to a remote Scottish village and strikes up an intense friendship with the detested next-door neighbor, Tommy. As John’s relationship with Tommy deepens, Fiona, Tommy’s wife, grows suspicious and unconvinced of her new neighbor’s intentions.

Well-established playwright David Ireland is painting this intriguing series with his words, under the production banner of Sister, owned by Eric The company. .

Star-Studded Cast Line-up

Accompanying Lincoln on this fascinating journey are Ewen Bremner famed for Trainspotting, Indira Varma from Obsession, and Keeping Faith’s Eve Myles, who bring Tommy and Fiona to life.

David Ireland is no stranger to the small screen having written the Sky series ‘The Lovers’ and appeared in the Channel 4 comedy ‘Derry Girls’. Talking about his brainchild, he said, “‘Cold Water’ stemmed from a basic question – city or countryside to reside. It’s funny how such a simple thought ballooned into a dark, twisted, and humorous thriller. It’s astounding how we’ve bagged such an unparalleled cast led by the amazing Andrew Lincoln.”

Polly Hill, ITV Head of Drama, echoed the same sentiments, affirming that Ireland’s original script coupled with an all-star cast like Lincoln could only mean one thing – an unmissable drama.

Executive Producers and Filming Date

Lincoln and Ireland will executive produce ‘Cold Water’ alongside Chris Fry, Alice Tyler, Lydia Hampson, and Jane Featherstone. Brian Coffey is taking care of the production side, and the exciting journey begins with filming scheduled to commence later in 2024.
