Sam Heughan plays the Scottish Jamie Fraser in the hit series Outlander. Now he trades in his kilt for a police badge. How Heughan reports the male lead in the six-part thriller series “The couple next door“. His role is described as an “alpha traffic cop” – what can we imagine…?
Well, the premise of the series is this: The couple Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson) and Pete (Alfred Enoch) move to an upscale neighborhood. They soon discover that in this world dominated by status anxiety, there is little to hide from your nosy neighbors. Things get complicated when they befriend alpha traffic cop Danny (Sam Heughan) and his wife, the glamorous yoga teacher Becka (Jessica De Gouw).
Dark desires in the suburbs
What complicates them is already known. Danny spends a passionate night with Evie about the series. If that’s not tingling enough for you, “The Couple Next Door” will be a “psychological drama that explores the crippling narrowness of a suburb and it’s about the inevitable consequences of following your deepest desires” So we assume that Danny and Evie’s fling is just the tip of the iceberg.
When and where we will see the Starz series “The Couple Next Door” in Germany is not yet certain. But that will not last long, because the series is already being recorded in England and Belgium. Incidentally, the psychological thriller series is based on the Dutch series “New Neighbors”, which was imported asap. B. at Amazon.
Sam Heughan returns on June 16, 2023 as warlike Scotsman Jamie Fraser in Season 7 of Outlander. The season will be divided into two halves, the second half will not be released until 2024. An eighth season has already been ordered, but it will be the last.
However, the franchise based on Diana Gabaldon’s books will continue with spin-offs after that. Among other things, the prequel “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” about the parents of James Fraser is already in the works.
