However, the broadcaster has confirmed there are "no plans" for it to return.‌A spokesperson said: "We’re hugely proud of Coldwater and everyone involved in making it.‌"Whilst there are currently no plans for a further series, we loved bringing this story to screen."The six-part thriller - which also starred Eve Myles, Ewen Bremner and Indira Varma - followed John (Andrew), a stay-at-home dad who decides to move far from the city to the rural idyll of Coldwater after his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground brings his identity crisis to a head.‌After moving in, he is befriended by the next-door neighbour Tommy (Ewen Bremner), but things take a sinister turn as their relationship becomes more intense."John remains blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets, and it’s only after a series of unsettling incidents start to occur that John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is," a synopsis for the thriller teased at the time, with ITV saying the show was a "really unmissable drama".However, the response from viewers was mixed: some were gripped by the story and the acting, while others criticised the plot.‌"The acting is brilliant, especially Ewan Bremner," one person wrote on reviews site Rotten Tomatoes when it aired."It’s mad and chaotic, but the characters are so good. It does not take itself too seriously so do not expect a serious drama but totally enjoyed it!"‌Another remarked on the "A+ performances" from the cast and said it was "an amazing series". "Will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something new and original to watch," they added.However, someone else said the plot was "pathetic", adding, "After 15 minutes, I couldn’t watch it anymore.""This was perhaps the worst series I've ever wasted time on," said another unimpressed viewer.Article continues belowThe first series of Coldwater is available on ITVX.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Andrew LincolnITV
