ANDREW Lincoln has been spotted filming an "intoxicating" new thriller for ITV in the city's East End.
The six-part series Cold Water is set in a fictional Scottish village and features the The Walking Dead star as well as Trainspotting actor Ewen Bremner and Game of Thrones' Indira Varma.
The story follows John (Lincoln), a repressed man who is shocked to find himself in middle age, secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad.
When John ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater, he is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy (Bremner), a charming, confident man, and devoted husband.
However, underneath his collected exterior, Tommy harbours some horrific secrets of his own.
One local resident captured a picture of Lincoln running down Broompark Drive during filming on Thursday.
Cold Water is written by David Ireland and produced by SISTER for ITV.
Ireland said: "Cold Water started with a question I was asking myself. Where do I want to live – the countryside or the city?
"Such an innocent beginning, but from it came this dark, funny, twisted thriller. I was delighted when Sister loved the script and thrilled when ITV decided to commission it.
"And I’m amazed we’ve managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln. I hope viewers will find it intoxicating."
