7 Dramas You'll Love If You Adored 'The Couple Next Door'
Even if you're fitting in watching the show away from the mainstream unusual release format, the tense set-up of the show will see your devour it before long - and be ready for something new. At least until Channel 4 confirms if there will be a season three of the hugely popular thriller.
So, while you play 'Who will be in the next cast?' (how many gorgeous people can they truly fit into one street?), here are some shows to watch if you loved The Couple Next Door.
The OG prestige TV show when it comes to affairs and (kind of) partner swapping, or at the very least moving around. Dominic West plays an author who throws his whole life (and that of his family) into chaos by having an affair with Ruth Wilson who in turn is married to Joshua Jackson. A star-studded show with a mystery at its heart.
The Affair can be streamed on Paramount Plus.
Richard Armitage plays a respected London surgeon who has an affair with his son's fiancée - a fling that turns into 'an erotic infatuation that threatens to change their lives forever'.
Obsession is available to stream on Netflix.
The show that saw Jodie Comer hit the mainstream - and be hated by a nation at the same time. Suranne Jones plays the titular character, who discovers her husband (played by Bertie Carvel) is having an affair with much younger woman Kate (played by Comer). If you're never seen that dinner party scene, you're in for a treat.
Doctor Foster is available on iPlayer
A great cast lead this televising of the popular novel by Sarah Vaughan - Sienna Miller, Rupert Friend and Michelle Dockery to name a few. Netflix says of the plot: 'Sophie's privileged life as the wife of powerful politician James unravels when scandalous secrets surface — and he stands accused of a shocking crime.' Join for the twisty plot - stay for Miller's incredible politician's-wife wardrobe.
Anatomy Of A Scandal is available on Netflix
Sex/Life ticks the 'erotic drama' box when it comes to its likeness to The Couple Next Door and became famed for a certain shower scene. Billie is a woman whose world grows more complicated as her daring sexual past collides with her current married life when an ex she still fantasizes about comes back into her life.
Sex/Life is available on Netflix

According to Bloomberg, the New York-based startup has raised $545 million in funding and was most recently valued at over $3 billion. Runway's AI Video Tech Draws Netflix, Lionsgate, AMC, and Disney Into Its Orbit Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed that AI is now integrated into its content production workflow, helping to generate special effects more efficiently than traditional methods allow. On an earnings call on July 17, Sarandos cited speed and cost benefits of producing visual effects, including scenes in "El Eternaut," a new Argentinian drama on the platform.

Lionsgate (NYSE:LION) has inked a deal with the company to train an AI model using its library of proprietary content for future film applications. Bloomberg reports that Disney (NYSE:DIS) has tested Runway's AI tools and held exploratory talks with the startup, although it has not committed to full-scale adoption, according to statements from Disney spokespeople. AMC Networks (NASDAQ:AMCX) is also collaborating with Runway AI to visualize upcoming shows and create marketing assets before filming begins, according to Runway AI.

According to Bloomberg, traditional motion capture workflows can be costly and time-intensive, while Runway's tools offer near-instant results. The startup first gained traction in 2023 after launching a model capable of turning text prompts into short video clips, spurring widespread interest in the intersection of AI and filmmaking, Bloomberg says. Runway's generative video tools are already being deployed across multiple entertainment formats. According to Bloomberg, the software was used to generate scenes in Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) hit series 'House of David' and to create visuals for Madonna's concert tour and a commercial for also confirmed it struck a deal with Runway to train a proprietary AI model on the studio's intellectual property to reduce production costs and accelerate content development, Bloomberg reports.
