County Lines and its impact on rural communities in Wales and beyond is explored in ITV’s latest drama, Out There.

Martin Clunes stars as Welsh farmer Nathan Williams who is worried about the future of his farm and the local community due to encroaching development agents.

Meanwhile Nathan’s teenage son Johnny (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) rekindles a friendship with an old mate turned drug dealer Rhys (Gerran Howell), who draws him into the murky world of drug trafficking.

Nathan is thrust into a battle to protect his farm and his community from the threat posed by County Lines drug operations. Out There is set to debut at 9pm on Sunday, January 19 on ITV1, and viewers can binge the entire series on ITVX from the same date.
