American comedian Andrew Lincoln is rightly well-known by many audiences through AMC’s megapopular monster series The Walking Dead after spending more than a decade as one of TV’s biggest franchises. He portrayed the supreme good guy Rick Grimes, a determined and selfless leader who stood ready to defend his people from both living and dead on that display. The artist is set to return to broadcast in a very different type of role then that Rick’s account has been generally wrapped up in his spinoff series The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live ( as well as having given him a sort of content ending ).

If the early reviews from across the pond are anything to go by, people will soon have the chance to see Lincoln stretch himself in a lot of wild ( and potentially quite improbable ) way thanks to Showtime’s selection of the six-part thriller Coldwater, which premiered earlier this Fall on British network ITV. Its subject matter is both nervous and uneasily up to date, making it a tale of isolation, adjustment, toxic masculinity, and adult rage. And Lincoln’s performance sounds about while unrelated to Rick Grimes as it could possibly be.

In Coldwater, Lincoln portrays John, a generally cowardly husband and father who relocates his family to a new neighborhood and falls under the control of a charismatic weirdo who is too eager to exploit his numerous ( many ) worries about middle age, his marriage, and the world as a whole. In a sort of madly unbalanced analysis of the current masculinity crisis, what follows will presumably involve no less than marital strife, violence, and murder. ( I’m quite certain there might also be a serial killer involved )? Given how long Lincoln occupied what was basically the Platonic ideal of a warrior, which is terribly satirical. But I’m here for it, if only because it’ll be so nice to see this particular actor playing a role that he’s been playing ( or stayed in, depending on your perspective ) for so long.

Lincoln’s initial foray into the world of American crisis is not in Coldwater; rather, that’s where he got his start. After years of watching him remove zombies in a cowboy hat, it’s possible some ordinary Walking Dead viewers won’t realize that he is truly American. He’s similar to his countryman Hugh Laurie and House. He has appeared in everything from phase dramas like Wuthering Heights to the supernaturally infused Dead across the lake. ( And of course, in Love Actually, he frequently appears in meme-d as the best friend with cue cards. ) However, it can be challenging for any actor to decide what to do after leaving a crucial responsibility behind, and that’s exactly what Rick Grimes did for Lincoln. So it’s interesting to see that he’s not playing healthy. We’ll have to wait and see for ourselves whether Coldwater may be worthwhile to watch.

The sequence is scheduled for an early 2026 U.S. transfer, which also includes Game of Thrones ‘ Indira Varma, Torchwood’s Eve Myles, and Trainspotting’s Ewen Bremner.
