Midsomer Murders star Nick Hendrix is set to appear in an upcoming drama film with an impressive cast – and it sounds amazing!
The 40-year-old actor, who is best known for playing DS Jamie Winter in ITV's beloved crime drama, will share the screen with Isabel May, the star of Yellowstone spin-off 1883, and The Jetty actor Archie Renaux in the new movie.
The romantic dramedy, which comes from writer-directors Colin Krisel and James Krisel, sees commitment-phobe Jack (played by Riverdale's KJ Apa) find himself caught in a love triangle when he starts dating Jillian (May), unaware that his best friend Johnny (Renaux) also has feelings for her.
Intrigued? Here's all we know.
What is Falling about?
According to a synopsis from Deadline, the film follows Jack, a "quick-witted, charming, and avoidant, finally risks opening his heart when he starts dating Jillian; what he never expected was that his best friend Johnny would fall for her too."
While little is known about Nick's character, Wheels, we do know that he stars alongside Emma Laird (The Brutalist), Sophie Simnett (Daybreak, Endeavour), and Alex Jarrett (Les Misérables), according to IMDb.
A spokesperson for production company Gulfstream Pictures told Deadline in July last year: "We are very excited to work with this exceptional cast, including Archie, whom we’ve worked with twice before, and Isabel, Emma and Alex, who bring an incredible energy to the project. We can’t wait to bring this amazing story to audiences around the world."

What has Nick said about his future on Midsomer Murders?
When quizzed about his future on the ITV drama, Nick said that while he sees "very few negatives", he hasn't ruled out leaving the drama.
© Mark Bourdillon"I think as ever, I would always say never say never and what I would say is that there are so few negatives to doing it that it would be a really hard job to turn down," he told Express.co.uk in 2020.
"I'd like to think that I've done enough well now that they will always want me to be in it. So I can't imagine that I would say outright that I'd do it for the next ten years because that's not my career aspirations," he explained, adding that he and co-star Neil Dudgeon, who plays DCI John Barnaby, have "a good vibe" and viewers favour "consistency" over changes to the cast.
