The Couple Next Door season 2 cast, start time and episodes as new drama unfolds
Following the gripping first series, 'The Couple Next Door' returns for a second season, boasting an all-new narrative and cast, leaving fans eager for more of the psychological drama that stars Poldark's Eleanor Tomlinson and Outlander's Sam Heughan.
The show initially captivated viewers with the tale of two neighbouring couples and a scandalous affair between the characters played by Tomlinson and Heughan. However, neither will appear in the new outing.
This season, creator David Allison promises a fresh take on the drama, revealing to Radio Times: "The first series was about two couples that collided with each other - a square. Whereas this is more two love triangles... so the dynamic is really different."
Allison also hinted at a shift in character dynamics, noting: "The other thing is this is about characters who are a little bit older. They're in their 40s - it's about a mid-life crisis and there's different things going on in those relationships as well."
Here's the lowdown on what to expect from the new instalment.

George giggles with Charlotte and Louis in behind-the-scenes 12th birthday video
George is shown laughing as he and Charlotte both lift a giggling Louis up in their arms during an outdoor photoshoot, with George holding his younger brother around his chest and Charlotte holding his legs. The upbeat video montage, filmed by Kensington Palace's in-house social media team, shows the trio smiling as they stride along holding hands in the sunshine, with Louis in the middle of his brother and sister. 12 today! 🎉 — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) July 22, 2025 The royal siblings also pose for a family portrait with Charlotte and Louis sitting on a rustic wooden gate as George leans next to them. The Prince and Princess of Wales released a new solo colour photograph of their eldest child George, taken when the video was shot, to mark him turning 12 on Tuesday. The future king – one year away from being a teenager – is pictured smiling and relaxed as he leans on the gate in the Norfolk countryside. George is wearing a white checked shirt with rolled up sleeves and a dark green fleece gilet, and a blue and white friendship bracelet can be seen on his left wrist as he rests his folded arms on the gate. The image, posted on Kensington Palace's social media, was taken by photographer Josh Shinner earlier this year. It was accompanied by the message: 'Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!' followed by a cake emoji. The royal family also sent its congratulation to George, wishing him a 'very happy birthday'. Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! 🎂 — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) July 22, 2025 George, whose birthday falls during his summer break from school, has one year left at his prep school Lambrook before he moves on to his senior school – with either Eton or Marlborough College thought to be the frontrunners. The prince joined his parents and sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men's final earlier this month, where he used a fan to keep cool in the royal box in the blazing afternoon sun. In June, George was seen nudging his boisterous younger brother Louis on the Buckingham Palace balcony to wave more calmly at the crowd following the Trooping the Colour ceremony. Prince George Alexander Louis was born in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, at 4.24pm on July 22 2013, weighing 8lb 6oz. He made his debut in front of the world's media on the hospital steps one day later, wrapped in a white Merino wool shawl, cradled in his mother's arms.

The official line-up of the upcoming series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins includes an S Club 7 singer, Premier League footballers and a woman dubbed the 'most hated in Britian'. Series seven of the much-loved Channel 4 show will return to our screens on August 3 2025. Fans will be treated to eight one-hour episodes every Sunday and Monday, which will see a group of 14 famous faces take on a 'gruelling phase of the Special Forces selection'. Chief instructor Billy Billingham and his team Jason Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver will also be returning to our screens to put the celebrities through it. Scroll down to have a look at who is going to take part in the programme this year. Adebayo Akinfenwa The English former footballer, 43, is also known as 'The Beast' due to his physique. He has played for the likes of Torquay United, Swansea City, Gillingham, AFC Wimbledon and Wycombe Wanderers. Speaking about his upcoming stint on the show, he said: 'I've asked myself time and time again - am I built for the Special Forces? One of the reasons why I'm doing this is to find out. 'I would like to think that, put me in most situations, most environments, I'll be able to put my best foot forward, get out of my comfort zone, hit my responsibilities and do what I need to do! I think that's what I want to get out of taking part on this course.' Troy Deeney The 37-year-old is also a former footballer who has played for the likes of Watford F.C, Walsall F.C and Halesowen Town F.C. Troy said before taking part in Celebrity SAS: 'I'm at a crossroads in my life, so I'm hoping the course can highlight the good and bad in me and hopefully we'll see at the end, that the good outweighs the bad. 'I'm sure the DS will get me irritated very quickly but they will also know how to nurture and to reshape and probably help me along the way.' Conor Benn Conor, 28, is a British professional boxer, and son of Nigel Benn. His career has really taken off over the last few years, having had fights with Samuel Vargas, Adrián Granados and Chris Algieri. 'Although boxing is hard, I feel like this is going to be a completely different challenge and I always want to challenge myself,' Conor said ahead of his experience on the show. 'I just want to see and experience the toughness and the grittiness you need to pass this course.' Louie Spence The dancer, 56, shot to fame in the 80s and is arguably best known for starring in Pineapple Dance Studios. He's no stranger to television having starred in various other programmes including Celebrity Big Brother, The Jump, Celebs on the Farm and Celebs Cooking School. So hopefully Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins should hopefully be a walk in the park for him. Louie said: 'This course I hope can walk away feeling I've actually really achieved something here, that I've really pushed myself to the edge of my boundaries and put myself in a position which is beyond something I could have even imagined a year ago. 'This is a course that is really going to challenge me. This is different to anything I've ever been part of before. 'There's no fluff, there's no glitter, there's no getting myself out of a situation with a quick bit of wit. 'It's really refreshing for me to do something like this…and, hopefully come out a much better person, both physically and mentally.' Tasha Ghouri Tasha, 26, shot to fame on Love Island in 2022. She has since appeared on other shows such as CelebAbility, the Weakest Link, Countdown and Strictly. The star, who is also a model and dancer, has a Cochlear Implant to hear as she was born deaf. I'm very excited to actually take on the course and just go for it, push myself and really challenge myself, Tasha said. 'But I also want to show people that having a disability makes you no less able - we can also push ourselves, and do crazy challenges if we put our mind to it. 'I really want to be able to actually walk away from the course feeling like I've accomplished what I wanted to do and I want to look back and think, wow, I did that, I'm proud of myself. I'll be doing this for the people who have doubted me. 'I want prove to them that they can't bring me down. I can fight my way to the end.' Harry Clark The 23-year-old shot to fame on the second series of BBC's The Traitors in 2024. Harry, who is a former British Army Engineer, shocked fans with his game plan and managed to bag himself the £95,000 prize fund. He said of taking part in Celebrity SAS: 'Growing up, I'd watch people close to me be in the SAS, which always inspired me. 'This show was a different experience to what I had imagined but I always love a challenge and it proves you're always learning new things about yourself.' Hannah Spearritt Hannah is best known for being a member of the iconic pop group S Club Seven. The 44-year-old shot to fame in the early 90s alongside Tina Barrett, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Rachel Stevens. After the band split in 2003, she landed roles on stage such as The Beele's Stratagem, One Man, Two Guvnors and films such as Seeing Double, The Goob and Utopia. The star has also been in TV shows such as Death in Paradise, Casualty, EastEnders and Dancing on Ice. Talking about her time on the show, Hannah said: 'I hope to take out of this experience, strength. 'I want to feel stronger again, mentally and physically, because there's always improvement there. 'There are always dips that happen along the way with motherhood or whatever but I think when you just experience different stuff, it changes you. I have no idea what to expect, but I do know it will be an experience and it's something that I will have for life. 'However the experience goes, I am going to learn about myself. 'Maybe I'll find out I am a bit of a mess or I might find out that I'm stronger than I think I am…it's finding out things about yourself that you would never, ever find out. 'We live in this world where it's so easy to live in our comfort zone, so this is an opportunity to get outside of that and…for me anyway, growth and expansion is one of the most important things, and that is something that hopefully I can pass on to my kids.' Rebecca Loos The 48-year-old is known for being a former glamour model. Over the years she's taken part in Celebrity Love Island, The Farm, Extreme Celebrity Detox and Temptation Island. Rebecca said ahead of her time on the show: 'I honestly don't know whether I am mentally strong enough but one of the reasons I want to do this course is because I want to find out whether I'm able to stick it through mentally. 'I think it's going to be really, really tough. This is by far the toughest thing I've ever done. 'But I want to do this course because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to do an SAS training course. 'It's going to be really interesting to see how far I can go and how strong I'm able to keep myself.'

She served three years in a hardcore prison near Lima when she was convicted of drug smuggling. But since then she has released two books, including You'll Never See Daylight Again and various TV documentaries. Speaking about Celebrity SAS, Michaella said: 'The level of resilience I learned from being in prison in Peru and knowing how important that mindset is, will definitely help get me through the course, so I'm going to need to use my mental strength to help me along the way. 'In Peru, I was completely stripped back to the rawest version of myself…and I know in this course, it will have a similar effect. 'I will get to see the real me again and I want to challenge myself to see how capable I am. 'I don't know if I'm physically fit enough to complete the course but I have good mental strength.' Lucy Spraggan Lucy, 33, shot to fame on The X Factor in 2012, but withdrew from the competition in week four.

Speaking about her upcoming stint on the programme, Lucy said: 'I hope I have the mental grit to get to the end of the course. 'I have been through quite a lot in my life, and I've done a lot of work to navigate what that left behind, and I really hope that I can apply it to the course, and make it all the way to the end. 'I've always wanted to do this course, and what I love about this course is the sheer pressure it puts on a human being, that you will just not get anywhere else in life. 'And I've had pressure, I've had so many forms of pressure, nothing like this, so I really just genuinely want to see how far my brain can go.' Adam Collard Geordie lad Adam appeared on Love Island back in 2018 and fell in love with ex Zara McDermott. He later returned to the villa in 2022 where he was coupled up with Paige Thorne, but they also didn't last long. Now he's a proud dad to to a child he shares with his partner Laura Woods. He said: 'Hopefully during the course, the DS will peel back a few layers because I'm stubborn as hell. And maybe I need to be broken down to then go and sort some stuff out. 'I'm doing it for the little boy who hated himself and couldn't do anything and was the last to get picked in everything. And from an emotional point of view, I'm hoping that this spits out a better person. 'I love a challenge. And I really think this course is exactly what I want to really tap into my fitness, the mental strength, the resilience, and see if I've got the grit to finish and go all the way.'

'It's going to make me realise so much about myself that I've kept in. It's going to push, motivate and inspire me. 'It's really going to make or break me. But regardless, it's going to teach me a lesson about myself that I can definitely work on.'

Since then the reality star has bagged herself her own podcast Chloe vs The World and also been in various other TV shows. Some include Scared of The Dark and Celebs Go Dating. Chloe said: 'On SAS: Who Dares Wins, everything is completely stripped back. You have absolutely nothing. 'And I want the course to kind of remind me of that, because I've got a bit lost in myself and the industry. I want to feel a little bit grounded. I want to get a sense of it. I want to push myself, and I want to get a sense of achievement. I want to feel proud of myself for whatever I put into it. 'I think the course is going to give me a bit of confidence. If I even achieve half of the course, then I can walk out and be like, yeah, guess what? I did that on my own. No makeup, no hot shower. 'I'm very capable…I would love to come out and just feel really pleased with myself and really confident in myself. 'I want to feel like I've tried my absolute hardest and that I had nothing left in the tank…I don't want to leave half-heartedly. If I leave, it's because I physically cannot do anymore, which is fair, but I just want to know that I've tried my hardest.'
