Out There: Official trailer
Martin Clunes stars as Nathan Williams in the new gritty ITV drama Out There which tackles the dark, ruthless world of county lines drug dealing. Actor Louis Ashbourne Serkis plays his teenage son Johnny Williams on the show.
Out There follows a farmer who finds his land and his family being threatened by county lines drugs dealers - urban gangs using the British countryside as a field of operations, moving drugs and money between their inner-city hubs and provincial areas.
Johnny gets mixed-up in county lines following the tragic death of his mum, while Nathan finds himself stuck in a relentless cycle of work and grief. Dedicated dad Nathan must navigate the challenges of protecting his farm and community from the threat of the drug operations.

But I love it, I have always loved entertaining and bringing joy through that. I think if you get the opportunity to tell a story and to inspire people I think you should take it."
Speaking to The Mirror ahead of Out There premiere, talented Louis explained he has a natural passion for television but doesn't recall when he realised acting was his calling.
He said: "I don’t think there was one moment where I thought ‘this is it’, I think it was an accumulation, I think being exposed to it but also loving it, just loving films I love storytelling.
"I was young and in a way stumbled into acting, and tried it when I was around seven or eight. Then as you get older you kind of think ‘this is great’."

"I heard someone say recently on a podcast that resonated with me, watching a television or a film is the only space for two hours where you can literally be disconnected from everything that you’re doing.
"It’s really special to me, I love TV and I love to watch it."
Out There will start airing on ITV1 at 9pm on Sunday, January 19, 2025, with the full box set also becoming available on ITVX that day. Meanwhile, on ITV1 episode 2 will air at 9pm on Monday 20th January, with further episodes expected to air each Sunday and Monday.
