An exciting new drama is kickstarting on ITV1 next weekend. As summer draws to a close and we welcome in the colder and darker evenings, it’s time to sit down for some binge-worthy TV dramas and ITV are providing just that.<\/a><\/p>\n Following the recent success of huge ITV shows <\/a>including Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Karen Pirie, the broadcasting channel is providing viewers with even more drama towards the end of the year.<\/p>\n Sheridan Smith has led the way with autumn TV with the heartbreaking true drama I Fought The Law. <\/a>Millions tuned in to see her overwhelmingly impressive portrayal of mum Anne Ming who fought for justice following her daughter’s murder.<\/a><\/p>\n But it doesn’t stop there, as gripping series Coldwater arrives on ITV1<\/a> and ITVX next weekend. Coldwater is a new six-part thriller starring Andrew Lincoln. Created, written, and executive produced by award-winning playwright David Ireland, the series is produced by SISTER (known for Black Doves, Eric, and Chernobyl).<\/p>\n Set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater, Andrew Lincoln<\/a> (The Walking Dead, Teachers) plays a stay-at-home dad John. When he fails to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground, John ups and moves his family to Coldwater, as far away from London as possible.<\/p>\n Upon arrival, John is quickly befriended by his charming and confident next-door neighbour Tommy (Ewen Bremner), a devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca (Eve Myles). John is both impressed and slightly fascinated by Tommy.<\/p>\n But his wife Fiona, played by Indira Varma, despises him. Fiona saw the move to Coldwater as an opportunity to leave the past behind them and reignite the spark in their marriage. When her husband\u2019s relationship <\/a>with their new neighbour becomes increasingly intense, Fiona\u2019s suspicions are aroused. She is not convinced Tommy is what he seems to be.<\/p>\n When John\u2019s rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets.<\/p>\n Providing a synopsis for the show,<\/a> ITV<\/a> said: “This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a new found sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous.”<\/p>\n Andrew Lincoln said: “I hope that the mad, anarchic energy that has been surrounding this project has percolated into the end product because it\u2019s been an amazing job.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve loved working in Scotland with this brilliant crew and cast. It’s been a real joy. There\u2019s lots of really good domestic dramas and really good horrors and excellent comedies.<\/p>\n “What I hope is that this is a combination of all of those genres, but more especially that we are able to hear David’s unique voice in the final edit.”<\/p>\n
