Drama! Suspense! Sex! The Couple Next Door sounds right up our street. Add in some of our favourite actors in leading roles, and we’re firmly on board. 

The TV series will land on our screens very soon indeed, and we honestly cannot wait to wrap our eyeballs around it.

Let’s talk you through everything you need to know to get thoroughly excited about this show.

When Evie and Pete move into a fancy new neighbourhood, they’re surrounded by gossip, anxiety and curtain twitching. But thankfully they find some pals to help them navigate their environment: the couple next door (like the title of the show, get it?), traffic cop Danny and his wife, Becka, a glamorous yoga instructor. 

The two couples get closer together, then… something happens. 

In the newly released trailer, tensions rise as the two couples get increasingly close to each other and one fateful night, become sexually entangled in a way that will change their lives forever…

Watch it for yourself below:

The show is described as “a deliciously dark, psychological drama, exploring the claustrophobia of suburbia and the fallout of chasing your deepest desires”. Sounds fun to us. 

And Caroline Hollick, head of drama at Channel 4 declared the series “an addictive, emotional roller-coaster with something to say about modern sexual mores, with an electrifying cast that will set our screens on fire”.

Of playing lead role Evie, Eleanor Tomlinson said: “Evie is an exciting challenge for me – a girl whose world is turned upside down as she navigates devastating trauma, which isn’t helped by unresolved issues from her past. We have an excellent team on board, and I am looking forward to exploring this dark and complicated world alongside Sam and our director Dries.”

“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,” added Jo McGrath, executive producer. “You never really know what goes on behind closed doors but this series sets out to make you wonder.”

Juicy, right?

All episodes of The Couple Next Door will become available for streaming on Channel 4 from Monday 27 November.

It will be available on Starz in the US and Canada at a later date, as well as Lionsgate+ in Latin America, including Brazil.
