The Couple Next Door season 2 lifts the lid on the spicy secrets of another suburban household as the series makes a welcome return.
In The Couple Next Door season 1, the action followed the fallout after teacher Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson) embarked on an illicit liaison with her neighbour, cop Danny (Sam Heughan).
Now, in the new season, we are back on the same upmarket cul-de-sac in Yorkshire, but we turn our attention to heart surgeon Charlotte (Annabel Scholey) and her anaesthetist husband Jacob (Sam Palladio) as their lives are turned upside down by the arrival of both enigmatic nurse Mia (Aggy K Adams) and Charlotte’s ex Leo (Sendhil Ramamurthy)...

The drama centres on Charlotte and Jacob, who have been together for many years and are enjoying high-flying careers at the local hospital. When Mia joins their team at work and also becomes their neighbour, she gradually worms her way into their lives and starts to cause tension, as both Charlotte and Jacob are deeply drawn to her and are forced to reassess their relationship. But as her past is shrouded in mystery, does she have anything to hide?
