The Family Next Door (2025)

Based on a novel by Sally Hepworth, adapted by various writers, no clear evidence of a showrunner.

A woman posing as a journalist, Teresa Palmer, moves into a coastal close and starts nosily investigating her new neighbours. Who are property developer Bella Heathcote and photographer Bob Morley, new mum Phillippa Northeast and husband Tane Williams Acra, Jane Harber and depressed husband Daniel Henshall and gay couple Maria Angelico and Jane Harber. Plus Catherine McClements.

Their kids are all a bit of a nightmare in one way or another.

It takes a long time in six 40 minute episodes to understand what's going on and what she's searching for - too long, in my estimation. Which is one thing. But I thought the ending was terrible. (New sister doesn't want to know, her mum is shopped to the police.)
