‘The Couple Next Door’: Channel 4 Releases “First Look” Images For Sam Heughan, Eleanor Tomlinson Drama Premiering Autumn
Channel 4 has released some “first look” images for ‘The Couple Next Door‘, a racy new “taut thriller” starring Sam Heughan (‘Outlander’, ‘Suspect’), Eleanor Tomlinson (‘The Outlaws’, ‘Poldark’), Jessica De Gouw (‘Pennyworth’, ‘Our Man from Jersey’) and Alfred Enoch (‘Foundation’, ‘How To Get Away with Murder’).
Produced by Eagle Eye Drama (Suspect, Professor T, Before We Die), ‘The Couple Next Door’ is a deliciously dark, psychological drama, exploring the claustrophobia of suburbia and the fallout of chasing your deepest desires. Directed by Dries Vos (Suspect, Professor T) and written by David Allison (Bedlam, Marcella) the six-part series is an addictive, emotional roller coaster and looks at how we never know what goes on behind closed doors.
When Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson) and Pete (Alfred Enoch) move into an upscale neighbourhood, they find themselves in a world of curtain twitching and status anxiety. But soon find friendship in the shape of the couple next door, alpha traffic cop Danny (Sam Heughan) and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka (Jessica De Gouw). As time goes on, these two couples get increasingly close to each other and one fateful night, become sexually entangled in a way that will change their lives forever…
“At the heart of this series are two couples who get increasingly close to each other, and one fateful night become sexually entangled in a way that will change the rest of their lives forever,” said Jo McGrath, Executive Producer and CCO of Eagle Eye Drama. “You never really know what goes on behind closed doors but this series sets out to make you wonder.”
Jo McGrath, Walter Iuzzolino, Alison Kee serve as executive producers and the producer is Jen Burnet. It was commissioned for Channel 4 by Rebecca Holdsworth, Drama Commissioning Editor. Karen Bailey, EVP of Programming, oversees the drama for STARZ.
