The Night Manager star Indira Varma's intense ITV drama has gained a new legion of fans after being added to Paramount Plus.

The Game of Thrones actress is currently starring alongside Tom Hiddleston as The Night Manager has returned for a second series on BBC.

However, just months ago, she played a very different role opposite Andrew Lincoln in Coldwater.

The Walking Dead legend took on the lead in the drama, which explored masculinity as it followed a man coming to terms with his past trauma when it comes back to haunt him.

Having moved himself and his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater (a fictional Scottish village) to get themselves as far away from London as possible after a violent confrontation and an identity crisis, John (Andrew) finds himself resenting his repressive and mundane life as a stay-at-home dad in middle age

Despite hoping for a calmer future for his family. Including wife Fiona (Indira), he finds more disturbances arise when he befriends next-door neighbour Tommy (Ewen Bremner), a seemingly charming man and devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca (Eve Myles), and John finds himself at the centre of a series of unsettling events, caught in Tommy's web.

While their own relationship is crumbling, Fiona grows more suspicious and unconvinced Tommy is all he seems to be.

As John's long-repressed rage comes to a head with disastrous results, he is soon unwillingly indebted to Tommy, whose own horrifying secrets begin to emerge.

Indira previously spoke about how the familial themes in the series linked to her own upbringing, saying: "[The series] goes into the exploration of masculinity, what is required of men, but also of women.

"I was brought up by a working mother, my dad looked after me, so for me it was the norm.

"In today's society, people can say, 'Oh yeah, it's cool to be a working mum or mothers now being the breadwinners in the family,' but I think there's still a bit of a stigma attached to it and shame."

She continued: "That was what intrigued me, and the idea of protecting a long-term marriage.

"You know, how far are we able to go... If you've been with somebody for a really long time, how dark are you prepared to go to save it?"

Following it being added to Paramount Plus, Coldwater has soared up Rotten Tomatoes, scoring 70%.

One fan hailed: "Sir Andrew Lincoln's coming for them BAFTAs. Looks like we got a thrilling masterpiece on our hands."

Another said: "Dark & funny #Coldwater on @ITVX is gripping! Amazing lead cast (including familiar Scottish actors in ensemble) with some incredible writing from David Ireland. Indira Varma as Fiona is spectacular at wife fury & Eve Myles so well written & evil. But Ewen Bremner - omg."

Another wrote: "Brutal, funny, tongue-in-cheek and worth watching," while a fourth commented: "It was funny, and at times shocking but very different than most dramas on at the moment. I looked forward to each episode and wasn't disappointed. I thought the acting by the main characters was very believable and gripping."

Yet another added: "Couldn't stop watching - absolutely gripping!" as another called it "edge of the seat viewing".

The synopsis teases: "This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation.

"A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous."

Coldwater is available to watch on ITVX
