Channel 4 have released first look images at Season 2 of The Couple Next Door, which features a new cast and story. The first season of the psychological drama was Channel 4’s biggest scripted streaming launch ever with episode one achieving more than one million streams in the first seven days. The series made its debut in the US and Canada on January 17 on Starz.
Season 2 will star Annabel Scholey (The Split, The Sixth Commandment), Sam Palladio (Nashville, The Princess Switch), Aggy K. Adams (The Witcher, Greek Salad) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (One Piece, Never Have I Ever) alongside the return of Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered, Not Going Out).
Written by David Allison (Bedlam, Marcella) and directed by Dries Vos (Suspect, Professor T), Season 2 will see viewers venture back into the claustrophobic world of the cul-de-sac and explore the fallout of taking your fantasies and making them reality.
The synopsis for Season 2 reads, “Brilliant heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts (Annabel Scholey) and her husband, consultant anaesthetist Jacob (Sam Palladio) are a high-flying busy married couple. But things soon turn upside down when their mysterious new hospital colleague Mia (Aggy K. 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 (Hugh Dennis) whilst Charlotte has to handle the reappearance of past flame Leo (Sendhil 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. But one thing is clear, giving into desires can have deadly consequences…”
Filming recently wrapped in Belgium and premiere details will come soon.
