London Screenings: ITV Studios’ Ruth Berry on Andrew Lincoln’s ‘Cold Water,’ David Tennant’s ‘The Hack’ and How Scale and Must Haves Matter Ever More
Other standouts are natural history event series ‘Extreme Planet Earth’ and hidden camera reality gameshow “Celebrity Sabotage.”
One title leading the charge for ITV Studios is “Cold Water,” where “The Walking Dead’s” Andrew Lincoln makes his British TV comeback after 15 years in the latest series from multi-award winning Sister Pictures, penned by playwright David Ireland who has described it as a “dark, funny, twisted thriller.” From Jack Thorne, creator of the hugely influential “Skins” and co-writer with Shane Meadows of the “This is England” series and “The Virtues,” a double-backed real life crime investigation starring David Tennant, Robert Carlyle and Toby Jones. From Plimsoll Productions, three years in the making, a high-end natural history survival thriller, unveiling wildlife’s “courage, resilience and determination” facing up to extreme weather, whether wombats in Australia with fires raging around them to Caribbean flamingos in Mexico reacting to the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record.
