Andrew Lincoln’s Thriller Series Coldwater Returns to the Charts

by

Andrew Lincoln, best known for playing Rick Grimes on AMC’s The Walking Dead, is starring in a new thriller, showcasing a different side of his acting skills. Meanwhile, his older series, Coldwater, is gaining renewed attention and climbing the streaming charts as it releases its final episode, despite a slow start.

The TV series Coldwater is currently a hit on Paramount+, ranking as their tenth most-watched show in the U.S., according to FlixPatrol. It initially debuted at number eight, but its popularity dipped. However, with the series finale airing on February 13th, viewers returned, boosting it back into Paramount+’s top ten.

I just finished watching Coldwater, and it really pulled me in! It’s a six-part thriller about a guy named John, a Londoner who’s kind of hitting a wall in his life. Suddenly, after something really scary happens, he has to move his whole family way up to Scotland. The story unfolds in this quiet little town called Coldwater, but things aren’t what they seem. John starts to get seriously suspicious of his neighbor, Tommy – played brilliantly by Ewen Bremner – who seems to be hiding a really dark side. It’s a tense watch, and you’re constantly wondering what’s going on with Tommy!

Originally broadcast in Britain in late 2025, the series Coldwater recently became available to viewers worldwide thanks to Showtime. Now, with a Showtime subscription through Paramount+, audiences outside the UK can finally watch Andrew Lincoln’s newest show.

Will Coldwater Get a Second Season?

It’s still uncertain if Coldwater will be renewed for another season, as the first season had a complete story arc. However, if the show gains enough popularity worldwide, additional seasons are possible.

The first season of Coldwater received mostly positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes reported a 73% approval rating, while audiences scored it lower at 56% on their Popcornmeter. Viewers on IMDb gave the series an average rating of 6.2 out of 10, placing it between the critics’ and audiences’ opinions.

Viewers have had varying reactions to Coldwater, meaning its future isn’t certain and it needs to attract a large audience to get a second season. While creator David Ireland has shared some ideas for what Season 2 could be about, it hasn’t been officially renewed yet. It’s also unknown if the original cast, including Andrew Lincoln, would return, or if the show would introduce a new group of characters if it continues.

If you like Andrew Lincoln’s acting in other serious dramas, you’ll likely enjoy his performance in Coldwater. The show really lets him shine. Now that the final episode is available on Paramount+ with Showtime, fans of The Walking Dead should definitely check it out.

Coldwater is available on Paramount+ with a Showtime add-on.
