Watch The Couple Next Door: Synopsis

Moving into a new neighborhood is never easy, especially when it's a little more upmarket than what you're used to and there are unresolved secrets in the past that simply can't be outrun. That's the basis for hit dark drama The Couple Next Door and its young protagonists Evie and Pete. Intrigued? We explain how to watch The Couple Next Door online below.

Luckily, Evie and Pete have some very welcoming next-door neighbors – Danny and Becka – to help them settle in to the curtain-twitching suburbia they now call home. Which is all very nice, until Danny becomes a little too welcoming with Evie and the friendly dinner parties turn into an excitingly dangerous game of sex, obsession and, ultimately, violence.

The Couple Next Door proved to be the perfect six-part thriller to get pulses racing last Fall. The unfeasibly attractive young cast comprises Poldark's Eleanor Tomlinson as the restless Evie and Outlander's Sam Heughan as hunk-next-door Danny, with Alfred Enoch (How to Get Away with Murder, Harry Potter franchise) playing the anxious Pete, and Jessica De Gouw (Underground) as yoga instructor Becka. Behind the camera is Belgian director Dries Vos who has had recent successes with Suspect and Professor T.

Not to be confused with Shari Lapena's popular 2016 novel of the same name, The Couple Next Door is actually an adaptation of a Dutch TV series called Nieuwe Buren (translated in English as 'New Neighbors'), that ran for 40 episodes over four seasons.

Despite a mixed critical reception, the steamy drama had viewers hot under the collar, with the tension ramping up right to the finale. 

For more details on how you can catch up on the show that got everybody talking, keep reading our full guide on how to watch The Couple Next Door online. That's right, all episodes are free to watch right now on the Channel 4 website and app with a release date in North America coming soon.
