Dyer is set to star in Heat, a four-part action thriller series for Channel 5 coming from former Neighbours<\/a> executive producer Jason Herbison, which is to be filmed in Australia.<\/p>\n The series\u2019s synopsis says that it \u201cunfolds to the backdrop of the looming Australian bushfire season when two families who are long-time friends, venture to a secluded home for a summer vacation. As secrets and lies unravel it becomes a tinderbox \u2013 and not everyone will make it out alive.\u201d<\/p>\n Of his new role Dyer said: \u201cCan\u2019t wait to get amongst this beautiful piece of work in Australia. I\u2019ve always been intrigued about working there. It\u2019s my first gig since my long stint at EastEnders. Really powerful dark script and a strong Australian cast and crew. Let\u2019s have it!!!\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile Greg Barnett, commissioning editor of factual entertainment and unscripted at Channel 5 and Paramount+<\/a> said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted Danny is joining Channel 5 for his first major drama project post-EastEnders. Heat is a suspenseful and nail-biting thriller and I can\u2019t wait to see him bring his great talent and energy to it.\u201d<\/p>\n The series will start shooting this month, with filming taking place exclusively in Victoria, Australia. Alongside Dyer, Heat will also star Darren McMullen (Doctor Doctor), Jane Allsop (House Husbands), Pia Miranda (Wentworth), Olympia Valance (Informer 3838), Richie Morris (Neighbours), and newcomers Matia Marks, Matteo Annetta and Hunter Hayden.<\/p> Heat will be Dyer\u2019s first role since leaving EastEnders, with the actor\u2019s final scenes set to play out on the soap this Christmas. Earlier this year, Dyer teased that his exit storyline would be \u201cepic\u201d<\/a> and \u201chuge\u201d, with fans now fervently speculating<\/a> as we get closer to the festive period on just how his departure will play out.<\/p>\n Heat is expected to debut on Channel 5 in the UK in 2023.<\/strong> Check out more of our\u00a0Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
