There are just two episodes remaining in Channel 4’s eerie new drama, Deadwater Fell. The series is not based on a true story but the show producer Emma Kingsman-Lloyd recently revealed the show is loosely inspired by the Netflix true-crime series, The Staircase. The four-part series follows the story of Tom Kendrick (played by David Tennant), who has been accused of killing his entire family in a deadly house fire.

In the latest episode of Deadwater Fell, Kate’s (Anna Madeley) best friend Jess (Cush Jumbo) made a statement to Collins and Darlington about Tom’s behaviour on the night of the fire.
This then led Collins and Darlington to look closer at the Kendrick family home CCTV, where they caught Tom hauntingly staring into the camera.
Brown has worked alongside big Hollywood names including Jason Momoa and Ryan Gosling.
He starred in the Momoa led series, Frontier season three as Barclay and alongside Gosling as Gordon in the thriller film, Only God Forgives.
