Returning “claustrophobic” British thriller that broke Channel 4 streaming record is another must-binge

The record-shattering thriller, “The Couple Next Door,” is coming back for another season on Channel 4. Here’s what you should know about its upcoming episodes.

2023 saw the initial airing of a show that was labeled “claustrophobic” by its broadcast network on their channel.

The initial season centers around a couple, portrayed by actors from popular shows such as Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark), Sam Heughan (Outlander), Alfred Enoch (How to Get Away with Murder) and Jessica De Gouw (Arrow). Their lives take an unexpected turn when they move next door to another couple, leading to a fateful night of passion that alters their relationships significantly.

The intriguing thriller series, modeled after the Dutch show “Nieuwe Buren“, turned out to be a massive success for Channel 4, boasting it as their “largest scripted streaming debut” to date. The initial episode garnered over 1 million streams in its first week alone.

In our review, Digital Spy described it as having elements similar to “Desperate Housewives,” though possibly lacking in certain areas, but still quite pleasant.

Following the show’s impressive run, it was announced last year that another season would indeed be produced. This upcoming season is set to introduce fresh characters and plotlines, but fear not, fans of Hugh Dennis’ character Alan, the peculiar neighbor from season 1, he will make a comeback!

Channel 4 hints that the upcoming episodes will invite viewers to re-enter the confined setting of the cul-de-sac and delve into the consequences of turning one’s dreams into realities.

For the upcoming Season 2, director David Allison and scriptwriter Dries Vos are returning to their positions off-screen, as filming has already wrapped up in Belgium.

Sarah Stack, Channel 4’s Drama Commissioning Editor, expressed her excitement about welcoming back viewers to the street with a fresh, captivating tale.

Known for their relentless work ethic and high-flying careers, this busy pair is sure to keep us on our toes!
