Outlander star Sam Heughan's new series The Couple Next Door gets release window and teaser on Starz (Watch now!)

As a huge fan of Sam Heughan and his captivating acting skills, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming release of “The Couple Next Door” on Starz! Ever since the show was first announced, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this “dark psychological drama.” Although U.S. viewers have had to wait a bit longer than our friends across the pond who’ve already seen it on Channel 4 in the U.K., we won’t have to wait much longer!


The anticipated Starz series “The Couple Next Door” featuring Sam Heughan of “Outlander” is getting closer to its U.S. release. We’re thrilled and can hardly wait! This show aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. earlier, but American viewers will soon have the opportunity to see their favorite actor switch gears from horses and carriages to a motorcycle and explore his latest project. I’ve been eagerly anticipating this “dark psychological drama” as described by Starz since it was first announced.

As a devoted fan of both “The Couple Next Door” and “Outlander,” I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of their upcoming seasons. The networks have yet to announce an exact date, but based on the latest teasers, we know that winter 2024 is the expected window. Now, summer may be in full swing right now, but trust me, winter will be here before we know it.

Heughan assumes the character of Danny, described as a dominant traffic policeman, wedded to Becka, portrayed by De Gouw. Starz reveals that their peaceful life is disrupted by the arrival of a fresh couple – Evie (Tomlinson) and Pete (Enoch) – in their exclusive community.

In the teaser, it is apparent that Danny and Evie are the characters involved in an affair. Evie seems unstable, as suggested by Danny’s statement in the video. Affairs often come with repercussions, a fact made clear by the description of this six-episode drama as a dark psychological thriller. Given this genre, it is likely that the story will take a troubling turn. Here is the official synopsis:

The series is a deliciously dark psychological drama exploring the stultifying claustrophobia of suburbia and the fallout of chasing your darkest desires. When Evie and Pete move into an upscale neighborhood, 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 and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka. 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.

Outside of “Outlander,” Sam Heughan has impressively displayed his versatility as an actor through a range of projects. From the comedy film “The Spy Who Dumped Me” to the action movie “SAS: Red Notice” and the rom-com “Love Again,” he continues to prove his talent in various genres. Although I’m partial to Jamie Fraser, Heughan’s diverse body of work is truly commendable, and I’m excited to see him excel in upcoming productions like “The Couple Next Door.”

The Couple Next Door premieres in winter 2024 on Starz.
