Channel 4 Presents New Drama The People Next Door

LONDON: Later this month, Channel 4 will debut its new drama The People Next Door, produced by Raw TV (The Imposter, Cyber Bully).

The drama explores the story of young expectant parents Richard (Karl Davies; Happy Valley, Emmerdale) and Gemma (Joanna Horton; Fish Tank, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher) who, upon purchasing their first home, had no idea they were moving in next door to the ‘neighbors from hell.’ The disturbing sounds they hear through the wall—arguments, screams, and what sounds like violence—soon become daily intrusions and they suspect a child is being mistreated.

Nick Mirsky, Channel 4’s head of documentaries, said, “The Raw team have created a tense, gripping drama that could play out behind the curtains of almost any home in Britain. The People Next Door is terrifying relatable—and speaks loudly to the increasing mistrust many Britons have about what might be happening on their own doorstep.”

Executive Producer Richard Bond said, “We are delighted that Channel 4 have let us make another experimental drama and we hope the audience find it both riveting and thought-provoking in equal measure.”
