Winter Warmer Watchlist - The Family Next Door - Season One

The Family Next Door just landed on ABC. With episode one airing on Sunday, with all episodes landing on iView too. All six excellent episodes can be binged nice and easily of the local series, based on the novel of the same name by Sally Hepworth.

It’s peak holiday season in the popular seaside town of Osprey Point when an enigmatic stranger, Isabelle (Teresa Palmer), rents a family home in a quiet cul-de-sac. As Isabelle charms her way into her neighbours’ homes and lives, she quickly discovers that everyone at Pleasant Court has something to hide. 

With an all star local cast featuring Aussie TV's IT girl, Teresa Palmer as Isabelle.

Alongside Palmer, we have, Bella Heathcote as Ange, Catherine McClements as Barbara, the super hot Bob Morley as Lucas, Ming-Zhu Hii as Fran, Jane Harber as Lulu, Daniel Henshall as Nigel & Philippa Northeast as Essie.

The series filmed on location in Anglesea, Victoria, and several suburbs alongside the coastline. The series created over 200 jobs for cast and crew.

This is ABC at its best.

It gives real Liane Moriarty vibes. Family secrets, local drama, the mystery, the build up.

This was exceptionally addictive TV. I am also very happy to report the ABC will next up air the second run of Mystery Road: Origins in late September! Cannot wait!

The local TV just keeps flooding in this week with Playing Gracie Darling landing tomorrow on Paramount+.

Until then, seeya!
