He plays a pathologist, crime-solving doctor George, in The Sunshine Murders.
Set in Cyprus, the new series will be debuting on Channel 5 in September.
It stars Star Trek actress Marina Sirtis and ex-EastEnders star Nina Wadia.
Meanwhile, Peter recently addressed backlash from fans for his role in comedy film Jafaican.
He plays conman Gazza, who must master a Caribbean accent and culture to impersonate a notorious Jamaican gangster for a £3million payout.
Peter previously told The Sun: "When I read the script, I spent the whole time laughing.
'It was warm, with a deep, heartfelt message about what someone would do to care for the person that they love.
"It was also a beautiful tribute to Jamaica.
'But for me, working on Jafaican has been a dream come true.
'I know some people were a bit sceptical at first because we didn't know whether I could deliver what we had planned, but the reviews we've had have been phenomenal.

'I studied acting as a kid before going into music from 16, but I always knew I was going to come back to it.
"I always said to my dad, 'when I get to my 40s, I'm moving back into film, that's what I want to do'.'
However, fans were left cringing at Peter's attempt of doing a Jamaican accent.
One penned: "What is happening here lad?"
While another added: "LMFAO, this is the most original thing I've seen in a while."
A third chimed in: "This looks hilarious can't wait to see this."
Jafaican also stars Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas - known as bad boy Warren Fox.
