Cold Feet - All Seasons

BAFTA winning comedy drama Cold Feet returns, reuniting James Nesbitt, Robert Bathurst, Hermione Norris, John Thomson, and Fay Ripley.

The new eight-part series has been produced by ITV Studios owned indie, Big Talk Productions, and executive produced by series creator and writer Mike Bullen, and CEO of Big Talk Productions Kenton Allen.

The nation's love affair with Cold Feet began in 1997 when the television audience was first introduced to friends Adam and Rachel, Pete and Jenny, Karen and David. Thirty-three episodes and five series later our favourite couples have earned themselves a place in television history.

We rejoin the characters in 2016 with stories written and conceived once again by Mike Bullen.

It's been over ten years since we last caught up with the lives of Adam, Pete, Jenny, Karen and David and although many things have changed, deep down they haven't. Older, but not necessarily wiser, the gang are reunited when Adam returns from working abroad to make an announcement but not everyone is as thrilled as he is.

Pete and Jenny have their own worries. Victims of the economic downturn, working two jobs to make ends meet, Pete is losing his zest for life. Jenny's work as an Events Organiser is hardly raking it in. The only couple to have stood the test of time, theirs is a marriage set in stone, one which others aspire to, isn't it?

Meanwhile, David's marriage to his divorce Lawyer, Robyn (Lucy Robinson) has run its course. His professional life also leaves a lot to be desired and David is all too aware of the bright young things in the office ready to jump into his swivel chair. As the pressure of work and his expensive lifestyle mounts, can David retain his professional status without resorting to dirty tricks?

Karen on the other hand appears sorted; her marriage to David well behind her, she's successfully climbed the ladder at work and raised three children almost singlehandedly. But it won't be too long before the kids fly the nest and at work she's hit a glass ceiling. So what's next? Content and confident, Karen stopped looking for love years ago, but the question is; has love stopped looking for her?

As the series develops we follow the highs and lows of these much loved characters as they, like us, continue to find their way in life.

Creator of Cold Feet, Mike Bullen, said: "This feels like the right time to revisit these characters, as they tip-toe through the minefield of middle age. They're 50, but still feel 30, apart from on the morning after the night before, when they really feel their age. They've still got lots of life to look forward to, though they're not necessarily the years one looks forward to!"

Cold Feet will also introduce viewers to actor and Radio 1 presenter, Ceallach Spellman who plays Matthew, the teenage son of Adam and Rachel. Other actors joining with significant roles include Leanne Best, Karen David, Art Malik, James Bolam and Robert Webb.

Filmed on location in Manchester the new series has been directed by Terry McDonough, Juliet May and Jamie Jay Johnson and produced by Rebecca Ferguson.

In 2016 we saw the eagerly awaited return of the award-winning hit series, Cold Feet. Well received by audiences and TV critics alike, ten months on and the gang are back!

After agreeing to take things slow, Adam and his landlady Tina have been loved up for the past ten months – living across the hall from each other but rarely apart. They've spent hours renovating Adam's rental house together and it turns out Tina has an eye for style. In fact Tina has more than a few good qualities and Adam is keen to dive into the next phase of their relationship. It's only a matter of time before the perpetual romantic conjures up the kind of grand gesture he's famed for, but will commitment-phobe Tina jump in with both feet?

Finally living out her dreams, Karen is set to launch her fledgling publishing house and its debut novel, but she's struggling to keep a grip on home-life and PA Ramona is more hindrance than help. Karen quickly realises there's a high price to pay for trying to have it all and teenage twins Ellie and Olivia have enough issues between them to keep Karen on her toes. They should be focusing on their exam revision, but trouble is on the horizon. The question is, will Karen notice before it's too late?

Thankfully Pete has managed to shake off the black dog and is earning a tidy living as a chauffeur, but is looking for something more than being a glorified errand-boy for his rich clients. With no sense of value in his job, Pete desperately wants to be appreciated at home but Jenny is distracted by work and the opportunity to rise up the ranks. Meanwhile fourteen-year-old Chloe needs extra attention, especially after last year's revelation that Pete isn't her biological father. When an unexpected opportunity arises, Pete and Jenny have a tough decision to make – can they both get what they want and maintain a happy marriage, or has something got to give?

David's fall from grace hit him hard and he's now peddling life insurance to unsuspecting pensioners – a world away from life doling out high-brow financial advice. Like Pete, David is keen to find something more rewarding in his work life and unfortunately his love life is pretty lacklustre too. After being knocked back by ex-wife Karen, David licked his wounds and might just be ready to find love again – but where does a 50-something technophobe start?
