Sexy and preposterous in equal measure, The Couple Next Door was a smash hit, so it's little surprise it's now been repurposed as an anthology, the British White Lotus, if you like. Aside from the Yorkshire cul-de-sac and creepy neighborhood watchman Alan (Hugh Dennis), it's all-new for season 2.

You can watch The Couple Next Door season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.

High-achieving medics Charlotte (Annabel Scholey) and Jacob (Sam Palladio), a superstar heart surgeon and consultant anaesthetist, respectively, seem to have it all. But when Mia (Aggy K Adams), a new recruit at the hospital and a classic femme fatale, rents out the house next door, both Charlotte and Jacob find themselves beguiled by her.

When Mia charms her way around Charlotte's initial misgivings, intrigue leads to friendship and, this being The Couple Next Door, a dangerous liaison. At the same time, Charlotte's ex Leo (Sendhil Ramamurthy) emerges back on the scene, turning Charlotte's head further and setting Jacob on edge.

It's only later that it dawns on Charlotte and Jacob that, since Mia entered their world, patients at the hospital have been dying in suspicious circumstances. Attraction and sexual fun aside, how much do they really know about her?
