Andrew Lincoln is set to make his long-awaited return to U.S. television with the psychological thriller Coldwater. The series has already aired in the United Kingdom, but this marks its first release in the United States.
Paramount+ has confirmed that Coldwater will officially premiere on Friday, January 9, 2026. The show will only be accessible to subscribers on the Paramount+ Premium plan, making an upgrade necessary for viewers on lower tiers.
Unlike binge-style releases, Paramount+ will roll out Coldwater on a weekly schedule. New episodes will drop every Friday, allowing the six-episode season to unfold over six consecutive weeks.
The confirmed release schedule begins with the premiere on January 9 and continues through February 13, 2026, when the season finale will air. This format is designed to build anticipation and encourage ongoing discussion between episodes.
Coldwater was created by David Ireland and stars Lincoln as John, a stay-at-home father whose life is derailed after a violent incident in London. Seeking a fresh start, John moves his family to a remote Scottish town, where unsettling truths begin to surface.
The cast also includes Indira Varma, Ewen Bremner, and Eve Myles. As relationships develop and secrets emerge, the series leans heavily into suspense and psychological tension.
For fans of Andrew Lincoln and character-driven thrillers, Coldwater represents a major return. The series is set to arrive early in 2026 and adds another high-profile project to Paramount+’s growing lineup.
