Channel 4 has released some “first look” images for Season 2 of ‘The Couple Next Door’ which sees the psychological drama return with a brand new story and (mostly) new cast.
Written by David Allison (Bedlam, Marcella) and directed by Dries Vos (Suspect, Professor T), this second season 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 new lead cast sees Sam Palladio (Nashville, The Princess Switch), Annabel Scholey (The Split, The Sixth Commandment), Aggy K Adams (The Witcher, Greek Salad) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (One Piece, Never Have I Ever) take on the central roles, alongside the return of Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered, Not Going Out).
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. But one thing is clear, giving into desires can have deadly consequences…
