The Couple Next Door, the returning Channel 4 drama, has unveiled its first look at its second season.
The anthology psychological thriller will return with a brand-new story, this time focusing on a heart surgeon (Annabel Scholey) and her husband (Sam Palladio) as their lives are turned “upside down” by a new neighbour (Aggy K Adams).
Ahead of its launch, Channel 4 has released the first images of the follow-up to the broadcaster’s “biggest scripted streaming launch”, with the five photos showcasing Scholey and her fellow co-stars.

“Brilliant heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts (Scholey) and her husband, consultant anaesthetist Jacob (Palladio) are a high-flying busy married couple,” the synopsis reads. “But things soon turn upside down when their mysterious new hospital colleague Mia (Adams) rents out the house next door.
