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.

Channel 4 fans can now binge 10 episodes of 'adrenaline rush' Belgian thriller
It's not hard to imagine there's inherent drama that comes with being a member of a firefighting crew. The huge popularity of Chicago Fire in the US (as well as every other show under the Chicago umbrella) shows the appetite for watching the fictive emergency services at work. And if that sounds to your fancy, then Channel 4's latest Belgian acquisition might be as well. The ten-parter Under Fire was added to the free streamer this week and promises a 'thrilling' ride. So what exactly is it about? At East Bank Station, a close-knit crew of firefighters are trying to balance their high-stress jobs with the chaos of their personal lives. The motley crew, based in Ostend, Belgium, is headed up by one Lieutenant Patrick Sinnaeve (Sam Louwyck) and counts Orlando Foncke (Louis Talpe) as the bravest in the squad. There is no burning building he won't charge straight towards. But behind the scenes Orlando is a mess. And even in front of the scenes, he's prone to bending the rules in a way that definitely goes against firefighter protocol. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video With bad boy behaviour prevalent across the squad, things go topsy-turvy when a deadly mishap puts the headstrong bunch in the firing line – so now they're fighting fires on the street and in their office. To save their cherished fire station, Sinnaeve is forced to take a desk job and put his team in the hands of the new Lieutenant Dominique Meersman (Lien De Grave). In part because she's a woman, the appointment does not go down a treat in the macho blokey-bloke ethos of the station. Dramatic and heart-pumping visuals abound as the team faces major internal changes, all while fighting to save lives on the job. The show dropped on Netflix in 2022, but is now available to stream for free on Channel 4 as part of the platform's Walter Presents offshoot. Walter Presenters launched back in 2016, it is an on-demand platform with a selection of award-winning foreign-language dramas, hand-picked by Walter Iuzzolino. The Shadow . This haunting crime drama follows a young journalist called Norah (Deleila Piasko) on assignment.

Many reviews of Under Fire, or Onder Vuur in Belgian, have remarked on the authentic nature of the actions sequences. More Trending A review in Midgard Times gushed: 'There are some scenes in the series, like rescuing the people stuck in a hot balloon that appear to be so real. The audience will be able to feel the adrenaline rush.' 'Under Fire sounds like it might just be Chicago Fire by way of Belgium, but its truly gripping and cinematic action sequences take it up a notch and make it a worthy binge,' said a write-up in Decider. Elsewhere, user reviews on the show were mixed, with some noting it wasn't particularly realistic (!), but @info-37063 wrote on IMDb: 'Loved the interventions, the actors and the shots. Nicely filmed and great atmosphere. For a Flemish series absolutely something innovative and worth the watch!' View More » Under Fire is available to stream on Channel 4 and Netflix. Got a story?

Gogglebox star to make first TV return since 'devastating' divorce on huge dating show
Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig-Webb is set to appear on Channel 4's First Dates - marking his first TV appearance since his 'devastating' divorce from co-star Stephen Webb Channel 4's First Dates has seen its fair share of reality stars enter the doors of its restaurants over the years, from Michael Fabricant to Lauren Simon. However, now one particular Gogglebox star is set to make his debut on the show - marking his first TV appearance since becoming single. Former Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig-Webb is set to appear on Channel 4's First Dates - with the ex reality star featured in the show's opening credits this series. Daniel, 50, was married to his Gogglebox co-star Stephen Lustig-Webb for six years until their divorce in April last year. Opening up about the split, Daniel told the Suddenly Single podcast that it was "devastating" and "traumatic", while the Channel 4 star recently told The Mirror that his love life was "complicated" with him still living with Stephen. 'If I'm going on a date, I'm a bit sheepish about it. I'll say I'm going to meet a friend but Stephen can just read me. He'll say, 'Don't wear that.' I can't bring anyone to the house so it's a little bit different – but we make it work.' Now, Stephen will be getting back out onto the dating scene by appearing on Channel 4's First Dates. Hosted by Fred Sirieix, the long-running series tends to see ordinary people head on blind dates at a restaurant run by the French maître d'hôtel. The Mirror understands that Daniel will be appearing in a future series of the show. Stephen teased his upcoming First Dating appearance in a chat with The Mirror earlier this year. He said: "I did do something to do with dating that's coming out next year, but I can't talk about that." He's following in the footsteps of his ex Stephen, who appeared on the last series of Celebs Go Dating. The hairdresser took part in the show with Love Island's Chris Taylor, Corrie star Helen Flanagan, MAFS star Ella Morgan, singer Jamelia, influencer Lauryn Goodman and Made In Chelsea's Tristan Phipps. Speaking about filming the show last year, Stephen revealed that he was called out by experts Paul Carrick Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn over his behaviour."I did get called out on a bad habit," he told The Mirror in an exclusive chat. "I was asked to look at [my behaviour] in a different way, still do it, but tweak it."
