Just like before, "The Couple Next Door" season 2 is set in a comfy, cosy British suburban neighbourhood. But rather than continuing the storyline from season 1, the new series introduces a completely new cast of characters — together with their desires, lusts, secrets and lies.
At the heart of the drama are Charlotte (Annabel Scholey) and Jacob (Sam Palladio) — the seemingly perfect couple, with high profile medical jobs and a healthy relationship. The cracks start to show, however, when young colleague Mia (Aggy K. Adams) moves next door and an old flame of Charlotte arrives back on the scene from out of the blue.
With Hugh Dennis's creepy neighbor Alan the only recurring character from season 1, you can expect six more episodes of binge-worthy intrigue. Read on and discover how you can watch "The Couple Next Door" season 2 online and from anywhere in the world, potentially for free.

How to watch 'The Couple Next Door' from anywhere in the world
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching "The Couple Next Door" season 2 on your usual service?
You can still watch the show thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best VPN on the market.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're a Brit abroad and want to view the Channel 4 stream, you'd select a U.K. server from the location list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to Channel 4 and stream new and old episodes of "Couple Next Door" online just as you would at home.
