Starz has picked up Channel 4’s The Couple Next Door season two and set a September 19, 2025 premiere date. The first season of the psychological drama starred Outlander‘s Sam Heughan and Poldark‘s Eleanor Tomlinson. Season two features a new cast in a different suburban setting.
The new season stars Annabel Scholey (The Split), Sam Palladio (Nashville), Aggy K. Adams (The Witcher), and Sendhil Ramamurthy (One Piece). Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered) reprises his role as Alan for season two.
“This seductive series instantly struck a chord with women, with particularly strong appeal for our large, engaged base of Outlander viewers,” stated Alison Hoffman, President, STARZ Networks. “High-performing acquisitions like The Couple Next Door play a key role in STARZ’s continued success, expanding our distinctive slate of premium programming for adult audiences.”
“In season two of the steamy drama, viewers pull back the curtain of the cul-de-sac and explore the consequences of turning your fantasies into reality. Brilliant heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts (Scholey) and her husband, consultant anesthetist Jacob (Palladio), take center stage, alongside their mysterious new colleague, Mia (Adams), and Charlotte’s old flame, Leo (Ramamurthy). Leo’s return sparks a change in Charlotte, and Mia seizes the opportunity to work her way into Jacob and Charlotte’s confidence, their street and, eventually, even their bed, befriending cul-de-sac outcast Alan (Dennis), along the way,” reads Starz’s synopsis.
“But it’s not long before Mia’s past comes back to haunt her, leading Charlotte and Jacob to question who she really is, especially when patients at the hospital start mysteriously dying. One thing is clear—giving in to their desires could have deadly consequences.”
The first season, loosely inspired by the Scandi drama Dopamin, was one of Starz’s best-performing acquisitions. The six-episode second season is written by David Allison and directed by Dries Vos. Allison, Vos, Jo McGrath, and Walter Iuzzolino are executive producers. Jennifer Burnet serves as a producer.
