'Full of shocking reveals': hit Aussie mystery-drama The Family Next Door is your next 'gripping' binge watch
The new series is coming to ITV – and it's perfect for fans of Big Little Lies

Searching for your next binge watch? Look no further. Australian mystery-drama The Family Next Door is a twist-filled ride where nothing's as it seems. Critically acclaimed, the six-part series won rave reviews after debuting Down Under last year

Based on Sally Hepworth's bestselling novel, The Family Next Door follows Isabelle (Teresa Palmer), a seemingly haunted woman who moves to an idyllic cul-de-sac in Osprey Point.

Confronted with a strange mystery, Isabelle begins to suspect that her new neighbours aren't who they claim to be, unravelling a web of lies, secrets and deceptions in the process.

And rather than befriend her new neighbours, she ruffles more than a few feathers as her suspicious eye falls on everyone!

"The Family Next Door is a funny and authentic portrayal of suburban life and exploration of motherhood, underpinned by a compelling mystery," said ABC Head of Scripted, Rachel Okine (via Screen Australia (https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/sa/media-centre/news/2024/11-21-family-next-door-abc)).

Isabelle who moves into a small seaside cul-de-sac where her obsessive drive to solve a mystery casts suspicion on four neighbouring families.

We get to know other members of the community – including Fran (Ming-Zhu Hii), Essie (Philippa Northeast), Lulu (Jane Harber) and Holly (Maria Angelico), who periodically gather on foldout chairs in the cul-de-sac to sip wine – and learn of a controversial property development project Ange is leading, which has created backlash over concerns about its environmental impact.

Early on, Ange meets a spooked investor who wants out – but she talks him around, buying herself some time.

Her quest to reunite one family will have consequences for them all."

This rings a bell. Not sure if seen. Or if read the book

osprey Point sounds familiar

it’s on late as well which is usual not 9pm slot

I’ve not seen this advertised but reading your post, I was thinking I’ve seen this. How strange.

It’s weird isn’t it. It sounds familar.

Thank you another who thinks it sounds familiar but may be getting it confused with the book the family upstairs

Strange time to be on. But sounds good. I can watch on ITVX as soon as it’s there so times not a problem. If it’s in Australia im always in the houses and scenery and warm weather!!

What’s that about ?

did they hide dead bodies

again rings a vague bell

I can’t really remember but I know I loved it. Definitely dead bodies and there is at least one sequel I think.

Just marking my place. It sounds good.

Family upstairs was really good. By Lisa Jewell.

Tbf I love all the Lisa Jewell books I’ve read. My favourite is the night she disappeared I’d love it if that was made into a tv show. Wonder how can propose that???

Yes sure I’ve read that

Another Lisa Jewell fan. She needs some tv adaptations!

Blast clashes with stuff dh is recording. So will have to download on to ITVX to watch.

What is he watching late at night ?
I can record def 5 things on sky

Match of the bloody day! Can only record two things at the same time. And he’ll likely be recording that and watching something else. He’s an owl. I’m a lark.

Football. Meh. He can watch that on bbc 😂

wonder why I can record so many - I only have the basic package

Where is the laughing react button when you need it!
