On April 6, the new Acorn TV 4-part series Deadwater Fell will debut online. Dr. Kendrick (David Tennant), a trusted, admired and much-liked member of the community, who is a doting father to three little girls, is seemingly the loving husband whose marriage to Kate (Anne Madeley) appears nothing short of perfect. But in one night the illusions of happiness and contentment are shattered as the community is drawn to Kate and Tom’s home in the forest by the flicker of flames and the smell of smoke. Amid the confusion, Kate and her children are found dead, and Tom, found unconscious in his bed, is rushed to the hospital. As more suspicious details of that night emerge, Jess – who was Kate’s best friend and closest confidante – becomes desperate to understand what could have caused such a tragedy, and what secrets lie at the root of this terrible act.
