Everybody needs good neighbours but what happens when they turn out not to be who you thought they were?
New Channel 5 series The Feud delves into the still waters of suburbia and finds they not only run deep but also harbour some deadly secrets.
Starring Jill Halfpenny, Rupert Penry-Jones and Larry Lamb, The Feud was created by Doc Martin’s Aschlin Ditt who also was executive producer with Andy de Emmon.
Paul Testar, commissioning editor, drama at Channel 5, said: “Neighbourly disputes happen every day.
“The Feud takes that premise and runs with it to its extreme limit.
“What starts as an innocuous renovation triggers an extraordinary sequence of events.
“We’re excited to work with the wonderful team at Lonesome Pine again to bring this great story and stellar cast to the Channel 5 audience.”
