How to use a VPN to watch The Couple Next Door season 2 from anywhere

Taking an anthology approach, the sophomore outing of Channel 4’s dark thriller sees a new group of characters cause chaos in the cul-de-sac. Heart surgeon, Charlotte Roberts (Annabel Scholey), and her husband, consultant anaesthetist Jacob (Sam Palladio) live an enviable life in the suburbs, but when a mysterious new colleague — Mia (Aggy K Adams) — enters the picture, things get complicated. Throw in Charlotte’s reemerging old flame Leo (Sendhil Ramamurthy) and the situation becomes a sexually charged tinderbox with plenty of sparks to ignite it. However, when patients at Charlotte and Jacob’s hospital start mysteriously dying, it’s clear that Mia’s past may be coming back to haunt her.

While most of the cast are fresh faces this season, there is one returning character in the form of Hugh Dennis’ Alan. Having paid the price for his actions in series one, Alan returns to the cul-de-sac looking for redemption. Still adept at people watching, Alan notices Mia, with the two sparking a friendship that may have dire consequences.

If you're traveling outside the UK, you can watch Towards Zero on the BBC iPlayer streaming service by using a VPN – no matter where you are in the world!

Normally a streaming service will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
