Out There dives deep into the dark world of county lines crime, showing how urban gangs infiltrate rural communities, using the countryside to move drugs and money between cities and provincial areas.

Martin Clunes stars as Nathan, a Welsh farmer whose quiet life is upended as his farm and family come under threat from drug dealers. Alongside him, Louis Ashbourne Serkis plays his 15-year-old son, Johnny, as the family grapples with the devastating effects of the criminal wave.

The ensemble cast includes Mark Lewis Jones as Caleb Williams, Natalia Kostrzewa as Eva, Carly-Sophia Davies as Sadie, and Gerran Howell as Rhys.

The series reunites an acclaimed team, with Ed Whitmore (known for Manhunt and Silent Witness) penning the script and Marc Evans (Manhunt, The Pembrokeshire Murders) directing. Philippa Braithwaite and Evie Bergson-Korn serve as producers, while Marc Evans and Ed Whitmore executive produce.

Out There will air on ITV1, with episodes available to stream on ITVX, from January.
