Channel 4 meets The Couple Next Door again

TRAILER: The Couple Next Door returns to Channel 4 for a second season on July 14, with a new story and a new cast featuring Sam Palladio, Annabel Scholey, Aggy K Adams and Sendhil Ramamurthy.

The dark psychological drama also sees Hugh Dennis return, with David Allison writing and Dries Vos directing.

Brilliant heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts (Scholey) and her husband, consultant anaesthetist Jacob (Palladio), are a high-flying busy married couple. But things soon turn upside down when their mysterious new hospital colleague Mia (Adams) rents out the house next door. Working her way into Charlotte and Jacob’s confidence and eventually their bed, Mia also quickly befriends cul-de-sac outcast Alan (Dennis) whilst Charlotte has to handle the reappearance of past flame Leo (Ramamurthy).

However, it’s not long before Mia’s past comes back to haunt her, leading Charlotte and Jacob to question who she really is, especially when patients at the hospital mysteriously start dying.

This series is loosely adapted from Scandi drama Dopamin, made by Kamikaze Film and distributed by REinvent International Sales, and the Dutch format The Neighbors, made by Millstreet Films on which season one was based.

Jo McGrath and Walter Iuzzolino are executive producers for Eagle Eye Drama and the producer is Jennifer Burnet, with Eagle Eye Drama and Happy Duck Films  producing. Beta Film will internationally distribute the series.
