Everyone Looks Very Attractive In the First Photos From 'The Couple Next Door'
One of the best parts of British television is that, eventually, all of your faves are going to work with one another. It's just the nature of the business — that ongoing joke about there only being a dozen actors at work in the U.K. at any given moment is funny because it's actually kind of true — and it often makes for some truly intriguing onscreen pairings.
Sam Heughan is probably best known for his role as hunky Jamie Fraser on Starz period drama Outlander, while Eleanor Tomlinson's big breakout came with her casting as Demelza Poldark on the BBC remake of the classic series Poldark. Both actors are now set to star in The Couple Next Door, a psychological thriller that seems about as far away from corsets and historical settings as it's possible to be. This is a series that seems primed to tackle the darkest corners of modern-day marriage and suburbia by way of a quartet of attractive people who seem incapable of being happy with their own lot.
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 moves into an upscale neighborhood full of nosy neighbors, competitive status seekers, and unexpected pressures to keep up appearances with those around them.
