The return of the show is currently being filmed in Belgium and the released read: ‘Heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts (Annabel) and her husband, consultant anesthetist Jacob (Sam) are a high-flying busy married couple. 

‘But things soon turn upside down when their mysterious new hospital colleague Mia (Aggy) rents out the house next door.

‘Working her way into Charlotte and Jacob’s confidence and eventually their bed, Mia also quickly befriends cul-de-sac outcast Alan (Hugh), whilst Charlotte has to handle the reappearance of past flame Leo (Sendhil). 

‘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 mysteriously start dying.’ 

Written by David Allison (Bedlam, Marcella) and directed by Dries Vos (Suspect, Professor T), this second series will see viewers venture back into the claustrophobic world of the cul-de-sac and explore the fallout of taking your fantasies and making them reality.

Of the new series, Annabel said: ‘I am delighted to be joining the brilliant team behind Channel 4’s The Couple Next Door. I was a big fan of series one and I am excited to be delving into David Allison’s gripping new script with a hugely talented cast and crew, whilst going back to my West Yorkshire roots, as heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts.’
