Beta Film's drama series, "The Couple Next Door" is now deemed Channel 4's biggest-ever scripted streaming launch. The series has captured the attention of British viewers with nearly five million streams to date on Channel 4. The first episode alone achieved a remarkable one million streams within the first seven days post launch, beating the previous record held by It's a Sin.
"The Couple Next Door" had a triumphant linear debut on Channel 4 in the UK, where it outperformed its time slot with up to 1.1 million viewers. It is currently also available to stream on Foxtel in Australia, Movistar Plus+ in Spain, and SVT Play in Sweden. The show is gearing up to reach more territories, with a debut on Starz/Liongate+ in the United States planned for next year.
Produced by Eagle Eye in association with Beta Film for Channel 4 and Starz/Lionsgate, the title explores the paralyzing claustrophobia of suburbia and the consequences of pursuing one's darkest desires, starring Sam Heughan, Eleanor Tomlinson, Jessica De Gouw, and Alfred Enoch.
