Andrew Lincoln’s New Adventure
Hey, all you Andrew Lincoln fans! Our favorite zombie slayer from The Walking Dead is swapping his machete for a thriller on British television. Lincoln is all set to star in a cool new series called ‘Cold Water’. Get ready to see him in an entirely different role, unlike his famous Rick Grimes character.
About ‘Cold Water’
In ‘Cold Water’, Lincoln plays John, a regular guy who stays home to take care of the kids. But life turns exciting when he moves to a small town in Scotland and makes friends with his weird neighbor, Tommy. Things get more interesting as Tommy’s wife, Fiona, is not too sure about John’s intentions.
The show is put together by David Ireland, a great playwright. He came up with this fun idea and now it will be brought to life by the Sister production company, which is run by a guy named Eric.
Star Power in ‘Cold Water’
Alongside Lincoln on this wild ride are a bunch of other talented actors. Ewen Bremner from Trainspotting, Indira Varma of Obsession fame, and Keeping Faith’s Eve Myles will be joining him. They will be playing the other important characters like Tommy and Fiona.
More about the writer, David Ireland, he’s no newbie to TV series. He’s written scripts like ‘The Lovers’ and even made a guest appearance in a comedy show called ‘Derry Girls’.
David says the idea for ‘Cold Water’ started with a simple question: Is it better to live in the city or the countryside? Well, that simple thought led to this twisty, funny thriller. He sounds pretty excited about having a cast like this, especially a superstar like Andrew Lincoln.
The Reaction of ITV
Polly Hill, who is in charge of drama at ITV, seems to agree. She believes the combination of Ireland’s cool script and a star-studded cast headed by Lincoln promises an unforgettable TV drama.
When’s the Action Starting?
Lincoln and Ireland also have a hand in producing the show. Others in the team are Chris Fry, Alice Tyler, Lydia Hampson and Jane Featherstone. Brian Coffey is handling the production side. So, when can you watch this thriller? Well, filming is all set to start in 2024.
