The Version: Filming is underway on Sam Heughan’s steamy new drama, The Couple Next Door.

In a new interview with The Radio Times, Sam says "I’m really enjoying shooting that, it’s a really cool show."

In addition to Sam, The Couple Next Door, also stars Jessica De Gouw (Pennyworth, Our Man from Jersey), Eleanor Tomlinson (The Outlaws, Poldark), and Alfred Enoch (Tigers, How To Get Away with Murder).

The drama has been described as a dark, psychological thriller.

When Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson) and Pete (Alfred Enoch) move into an upscale neighborhood, they find themselves in a world of curtain twitching and status anxiety. But soon find friendship in the shape of the couple next door, alpha traffic cop Danny (Sam Heughan) and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka (Jessica De Gouw). Sam Heughan heads up the cast as Danny who shares a passionate night with Evie, his beautiful but troubled neighbor.

Speaking about the show previously, Sam said “I’m thrilled to be working with Eagle Eye Drama and director Dries Vos again and adding a third series with my STARZ family. Dries has a unique visual flair and I’m sure we’re going to make something special.”

Loosely adapted from the Dutch series New Neighbours, the series will air in the Autumn on Channel 4.
