Where was The Couple Next Door filmed? Location guide for Channel 4 drama
The Channel 4 drama returns for its second season.
Season 1 of Channel 4's The Couple Next Door was a twisty, turny, steamy affair that culminated in a finale brimming with drama.
And incredibly, writer David Allison has matched that with the show's second season, which centres Annabel Scholey (The Split) and Sam Palladio (Nashville) as Charlotte and Jacob, a surgeon and an anaesthetist who have been married for 20 years.
On first impression, they appear perfectly happy, but the cracks start to show when a new nurse called Mia (Aggy K Adams) enters their lives, and an old flame of Charlotte's arrives back on the scene.
The action largely unfolds in the lovely neighbourhood where Charlotte and Jacob live – which is also the same street where the four couples from the first season lived – but where exactly was The Couple Next Door filmed? Read on to find out.

Where was The Couple Next Door filmed?
Season 2 of the Channel 4 thriller, which is loosely adapted from Scandi drama Dopamin, is set in Leeds, as season 1 was, with married couple Charlotte and Jacob, and their new colleague Mia, living on the same street as the previous two couples.
But the cast and crew actually pitched up in Belgium and Holland.
"Filming in Belgium and Holland, pretending to be Leeds, is odd because Belgium doesn't look much like Leeds," said Hugh Dennis, who has reprised his role as Alan.
"However, it's great to experience a different country and way of life."

In the new six-part instalment, surgeon Charlotte Roberts and her husband Jacob, an anaesthetist, are a seemingly perfect couple who want for nothing. But when a new nurse arrives on the scene and thrusts her way into their lives, and Charlotte's dashing ex also reappears, everything shifts – with serious consequences.
"We’ve made something that is sexier, bigger and bolder than the first series," said writer David Allison. "We’ve got this incredible crime story in the hospital – it's really dark and twisted, and we’ve got this unbelievable new cast.
"You’re going to love watching sparks fly between them."
Aggy K Adams, who plays mysterious new nurse Mia added: "I love series one, but I think we're so much better…. I'm joking of course!
"However, series 2 is darker and more psychological."
The Couple Next Door season 2 will premiere on Channel 4 on Monday 14th July.
