ITV Karen Pirie series 2: Full cast list and TV times
Lauren Lyle returns to play the title character, with the series again being adapted by Emer Kenny from one of Val McDermid's novels. Karen has now been promoted to the role of detective inspector and has a cold case to solve. The synopsis for season 2 says: "The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other. "Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two-year-old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife. "The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again." It continues: "Now, a man's body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap. "With the first piece of evidence in decades, Karen must assemble an unbeatable team alongside her sincere and lovable sidekick DC Jason 'Mint' Murray (Chris Jenks) and the brilliant – but romantically complicated – DS Phil Parhatka (Zach Wyatt)." Speaking with the Radio Times about the new series, Lauren Lyle shared: "With a slight sense of not wanting it, she has become the boss and doesn't quite know what to do with that. She has the authority now, but she doesn't know what to do with it. "As she was in season 1, she naturally goes against the rules, and she naturally is very good at her job, but she doesn't necessarily know why or how she's doing it. "So we find her as the head of everyone, and it's still quite funny that she's very small and sarcastic and unsure, but somehow has to pull it all together."

Channel 4 The Couple Next Door Series 2: Full cast list
Series 2 will focus on Annabel Scholey's Charlotte, a heart surgeon, and her husband Jacob (Sam Palladio), a consultant anaesthetist. From the outside looking in, they appear to be the perfect couple, but the arrival of mysterious new nurse Mia (Aggy K Adams) and the return of Charlotte's old flame Leo (Sendhil Ramamurthy) turns everything on its head. A synopsis on the Radio Times says: "Leo's return sparks a change in Charlotte and Mia seizes the opportunity to work her way into Jacob and Charlotte's confidence, their street, and eventually even their bed, befriending cul-de-sac outcast Alan (Hugh Dennis) along the way. "But it's not long before Mia's past comes back to haunt her, leading Charlotte and Jacob to question who she really is, especially when patients at the hospital start mysteriously dying. "One thing is clear - giving in to their desires could have deadly consequences." Hugh Dennis is notably the only actor from the first series to return, having played creepy neighbour Alan. Annabel Scholey and Sam Palladio share some details on the steamy new series of The Couple Next Door 🔥 in the latest issue of the Radio Times — Eagle Eye Drama (@eagleeyedrama) July 8, 2025 Discussing what's to come, writer David Allison shared: "The first series was about two couples that collided with each other – a square. "Whereas this is more two love triangles... so the dynamic is really different. "The other thing is this is about characters who are a little bit older. They're in their 40s – it's about a mid-life crisis and there's different things going on in those relationships as well." The Couple Next Door Series 2 full cast list Annabel Scholey as Charlotte Sam Palladio as Jacob Aggy K Adams as Mia Sendhil Ramamurthy as Leo Hugh Dennis as Alan Jeff Rawle as Henry Adam James as Ben Maimie McCoy as Gemma Barney White as Brandon Jackie Clune as Annette Janine Duvitski as Gloria Tanya Moodie as Yvonne Recommended reading: When will The Couple Next Door Series 2 be on TV?
