David Tennant Drama 'Deadwater Fell' to Stream on Acorn TV This Spring

The rise of streaming platforms as an easy, affordable entertainment option has been pretty incredible for U.S. Anglophiles everywhere, as it means that more of the content we love is (finally!) finding its way to our screens. And, thank goodness. Because it means we don't actually have to wait that long to see former Doctor Who star David Tennant in his latest role.

It feels a bit odd to still refer to Tennant primarily by his Who alum status, as he's spent the decade since he played the Doctor experimenting with all kinds of different roles, in everything from Marvel properties like Jessica Jones to beloved fantasy projects like Good Omens to crime procedurals like Broadchurch and Criminal. In his latest effort, the four-part dark crime drama Deadwater Fell, Tennant plays a family man accused of a heinous crime.

Tennant plays as a Scottish doctor whose wife and three young children are murdered in a fire, a horrible tragedy that tears apart their small community with mistrust and suspicion as those closest to the family begin to question everything they thought they knew about their friends.

Tennant stars opposite an ensemble cast that includes Cush Jumbo, Matthew McNulty, Anna Madeley and more.
