Andrew will be joined by the likes of big names Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting), Indira Varma (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Eve Myles (Keeping Faith) for the show.
He plays a middle-age man living in London who is 'secretly raging at his life as a stay-at-home dad'.
The synopsis reads: 'When his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a playground brings his identity crisis to a head, John ups and moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater, as far away from London as possible.'
Upon his arrival in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater, John is quickly befriended by next-door neighbour Tommy (Bremner), a charming, confident man, devoted husband to the local vicar Rebecca (Myles). He is a man of faith, a pillar of the community and self-appointed leader of the village's all-male book group.
John is both impressed and slightly fascinated by Tommy but his wife Fiona (Varma) despises him.
As a successful former chef hoping to launch a new venture in Coldwater, Fiona sees the move as an opportunity to leave the past behind them. To not only re-build their lives as a family but re-ignite the long-lost spark in their fading marriage.

When her husband's relationship with their enigmatic new neighbour becomes increasingly intense, Fiona's suspicions are aroused. She is unconvinced Tommy is all he seems to be.
Writer and creator David Ireland has said of the series: '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 be find it intoxicating.'
