What is the plot of The Couple Next Door Season 2?

Season two of The Couple Next Door introduces a gripping tale of passion, secrets, and danger. Inspired by the Scandi drama Fatal Injections, the story follows heart surgeon Charlotte Roberts and her husband, consultant anesthetist Jacob, a power couple whose lives unravel after the arrival of Mia, a mysterious new hospital colleague who rents the house next door.

Mia quickly infiltrates Charlotte and Jacob’s lives, earning their trust—and eventually their intimacy—while forming an unusual bond with cul-de-sac outcast Alan.

As Mia’s shadowy history begins to surface, strange deaths occur among hospital patients, leaving Charlotte and Jacob to question her true identity. The official logline teases, “Giving into desires can have deadly consequences…”

Viewers are certainly in for an explosive treat and if you loved series one, you won’t want to miss series two!"
