While Outlander may have come to an end for another season, Droughtlander is made a little easier with The Couple Next Door. This is the new Sam Heughan series, which premiered yesterday, Friday, Jan. 17.
If you haven’t watched the first episode yet, there is plenty of time. This is another weekly-released series, which is the norm for STARZ, and that probably won’t change. After all, STARZ is a premium cable network and not a traditional streaming platform.
The Couple Next Door is a psychological thriller that sees what can really go on in the world of quiet suburbia. As tensions rise and people give into the rush of emotions, nothing will ever be the same again. You won’t want to miss out on the series, and here is the release schedule that you need to know.
The Couple Next Door release schedule
There are six episodes in the season, and they’ll be released weekly. It’s not clear if STARZ will opt for a week break, but this usually happens with shows on the network. If there is going to be a week off, it’s either going to be in the middle of the season or just before the finale.
Here’s a rough idea of the release schedule for The Couple Next Door.
Jan. 17: Episode 1
Jan. 24: Episode 2
Jan. 31: Episode 3
Feb. 7: Episode 4
Feb. 14: Episode 5
Feb. 21: Episode 6
We’ll be sure to let you know if there is a planned break or not. This will push the final to Friday, Feb. 28.
The Couple Next Door season 2 is happening but there’s bad news
There is a little bit of good news in that The Couple Next Door season 2 will happen. The bad news is that it won’t follow the season 1 storyline. The series was initially billed as a limited series, so this isn’t that surprising. It will be turned into a sort of anthology series, similar to The White Lotus.
The second season will follow a new set of neighbors and a new twisty storyline. Nashville’s Sam Palladio will star in the second season.
The Couple Next Door will air Fridays on STARZ.
