Dougray Scott’s upcoming Scottish drama series Summerwater has confirmed a release for next month alongside a new look. The series, which has been teased to have a “devastating climax”, follows the “simmering tensions” between holidaymakers.
After being announced earlier this year, it has now been revealed that the Channel 4 show will premiere in November, and you can take a look at some fresh photos below.
“Set against the backdrop of a remote loch-side Scottish holiday cabin park, Summerwater looks at the simmering tensions between holidaymakers that eventually erupt into a devastating climax,” the synopsis teases.

“Weaving together the lives of several families as they navigate unspoken conflicts, private dilemmas, and fleeting moments of beauty from their disparate cabins, the story flashes back to dramatic events in key characters’ lives before their holiday, which may have consequences in the present.”
Alongside Scott, the series stars Blue Lights’ Valene Kane, Bridget Jones’ Shirley Henderson, The White Lotus’ Arnas Fedaravičius, Showtrial’s Anna Próchniak and House of the Dragon’s Gabriel Scott.
