Doc Martin star Martin is making a comeback to our screens! He’ll be starring in a new drama that “couldn’t be more different” from his old show.
The 61-year-old will be fronting a new six-part drama, Out There, which will be airing on ITV.
“The drama will depict the stealthy, surreptitious invasion of the land our farmer cherishes, with devastating consequences, as his livelihood, homestead and family life are threatened by local county lines drugs dealers, essentially urban gangs using the British countryside as a field of operations, moving drugs and money between their inner-city hubs and provincial areas,” ITV has said.
Martin plays the role of Nathan Williams, a man who runs a farm, who is grieving following the death of his wife two years prior.
However, his son, Johnny (played by Louis Ashbourne Serkis) is involved in gangs. This then leads to Nathan having to embark on a personal journey that will “take him out of his comfort zone”.
