Silva Screen Records is excited to release the official soundtrack to the highly anticipated 6-part series The Couple Next Door with a gripping score from Belgian composer Hannes De Maeyer. The psychological thriller premiered on Starz on January 17 with the soundtrack available today on digital platforms.
Director Dries Vos reflects on the music “’For this score, Hannes has created something exceptional: an immersive, modern sound that both feels unique and perfectly matches the atmosphere and tension of the series. His versatility as a composer is admirable: he always manages to switch effortlessly between genres and styles, and you can hear that in every note of this score. The result is a score that not only enhances the images, but also remains captivating in itself.”
ABOUT THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR
The series, which stars Sam Heughan (“Outlander,” “Suspect”), Eleanor Tomlinson (“The Outlaws,” “Poldark”), Jessica De Gouw (“Pennyworth,” Our Man from Jersey) and Alfred Enoch (Tigers, “How to Get Away with Murder”) previously aired on Channel 4 in the UK and will air on STARZ this winter.
When Evie (Tomlinson) and Pete (Enoch) move into an upscale neighborhood, they find themselves in a world of curtain twitching and status anxiety. But soon find friendship in the shape of the couple next door, alpha traffic cop Danny (Heughan) and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka (De Gouw). As time goes on, these two couples get increasingly close to each other and one fateful night, become sexually entangled in a way that will change their lives forever…
“The Couple Next Door” is a deliciously dark, psychological drama, exploring the claustrophobia of suburbia and the fallout of chasing your deepest desires. Directed by Dries Vos (“Suspect,” “Professor T”) and written by David Allison (Marcella, “Bedlam”), the six-part series is an addictive, emotional roller coaster and looks at how we never know what goes on behind closed doors. Jo McGrath, Walter Iuzzolino, Alison Kee serve as executive producers and the producer is Jen Burnet. The series is produced by Eagle Eye Drama and distributed worldwide by Beta Film.
