Channel 4 welcomes new Couple Next Door

FIRST LOOK: Annabel Scholey, Sam Palladio, Aggy K Adams and Sendhil Ramamurthy star in season two of Channel 4’s dark psychological drama The Couple Next Door, which features a brand new cast and story once again set in a claustrophobic cul-de-sac.

Brilliant heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts (Scholey, The Split) and her husband, consultant anaesthetist Jacob (Palladio, Nashville) are a high-flying busy married couple. But things soon turn upside down when their mysterious new hospital colleague Mia (Adams, The Witcher) 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 (the returning Hugh Dennis, Outnumbered) whilst Charlotte has to handle the reappearance of past flame Leo (Ramamurthy, One Piece). 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. But one thing is clear, giving into desires can have deadly consequences…

Written by David Allison (Bedlam, Marcella) and directed by Dries Vos (Suspect, Professor T), the series is produced by Eagle Eye Drama (Patience, Professor T).

This series is loosely adapted from Scandi drama Fatal Injections, made by Kamikaze Film and distributed by Reinvent International Sales, and the Dutch format The Neighbours, 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. The Couple Next Door is produced in association with Happy Duck Films and is supported by the Belgian Tax Shelter. Beta Film will distribute the series internationally.

Season one of The Couple Next Door became Channel 4’s biggest scripted streaming launch ever with episode one achieving more than one million streams in the first seven days.

Filming recently wrapped in Belgium and launch details will be announced in due course.
