First look at Andrew Lincoln and Ewen Bremner in upcoming STV thriller Coldwater

New images have been released of Andrew Lincoln and Ewen Bremner, who are set to star in a new six-part Scottish thriller airing on STV and STV Player this autumn.

Set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater, The Walking Dead actor Lincoln plays stay-at-home dad John, who relocates his family to Scotland amid an identity crisis.

John is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy, played by Trainspotting actor Ewen Bremner, a charming, confident man and devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca, played by Eve Myles. He is a man of faith, a pillar of the community and self-appointed leader of the village’s all-male book group.

While John is both impressed and slightly fascinated by Tommy, his wife Fiona, played by Game of Thrones star Indira Varma, despises him.

When her husband’s relationship with their enigmatic new neighbour becomes increasingly intense, Fiona’s suspicions are aroused, unconvinced Tommy is all he seems to be.

When John’s long-repressed rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend, unaware that Tommy himself is harbouring horrifying secrets.

It’s only after a series of unsettling incidents start to occur that John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is.

The series is written, created and executive produced by David Ireland (The Lovers, Ulster American, Cyprus Avenue).

Lee Haven Jones (A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, Passenger, Doctor Who) directs the first three episodes while Andrew Cumming (Shetland, Payback, Cold Feet) directs the second half of the series.

Coldwater will air on STV and STV player this autumn.
