After years away from British TV The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln is finally returning to our UK TV screens in what is potentially his best series yet, as he stars in the new series Cold Water on ITV.
First announced last year, the show is about a man named John (Lincoln) who moves his family to the small sleepy town of Coldwater in rural Scotland, where he develops a unconventional relationship with the enigmatic new neighbour. The first teaser for the series dropped on ITV earlier this week and it's safe to say we are so excited about this new show which is expected to drop on our screens in autumn this year.

Cold Water plot
Andrew Lincoln stars as John, an ordinary man who is struggling and internally raging with his life as a middle-aged stay at home dad.
After he's unable to help in a violent crisis in a local London park, he's reached breaking point and moves his whole family to a small sleepy village in rural Scotland. His wife Fiona (Indira Varma) is also on board as she seeks a new challenge after growing frustrated with her job as a chef.
Upon their arrival John bonds with neighbour Tommy (Ewen Bremner), who is husband to the local vicar (Eve Myles) and the self-appointed leader of the village’s all-male book group.
As the two grow closer, Fiona grows more suspicious of Tommy and believes not everything is as it seems with the new neighbour, who she suspects of harbouring dark secrets. And when John's long-repressed rage finally comes a to a head, John finds himself indebted to his new friend.
The series will be six episodes long and is ultimately described as a tale of "masculinity, religion and murder." Sign us up.
