Starz Sets a January Move-In Date for 'The Couple Next Door'
Starz has confirmed a January premiere date for its buzzy psychological thriller The Couple Next Door. The six-part series, which stars Anglophile favorites Sam Heughan (Outlander) and Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark) aired on the U.K. network Channel 4 late last year, and will finally come to America to kick off 2025.
Loosely adapted from the Dutch series New Neighbours, The Couple Next Door follows the story of Evie (Tomlinson) and Pete (Alfred Enoch), a couple who move into an upscale neighborhood full of status seekers and nosy voyeurs and immediately feel the pressure to keep up the appearance of success and happiness. But the grass isn't always greener in this seemingly idyllic cul-de-sac where danger lurks behind twitching curtains and secret fantasies and desires don’t stay hidden for long.
When the pair strikes up an unexpected friendship with the literal couple next door --- traffic cop Danny (Heughan) and his yoga instructor wife Becka (Jessica De Gouw) --- things seem to be looking up. But when the attraction simmering between Evie and Danny inevitably leads the two to spend a passionate night together, it unexpectedly changes everything for both couples.
