Starring Harry Potter's Shirley Henderson as isolated single mother Claudia and Line of Duty (opens in new tab)’s Craig Parkinson as night school teacher George, the Channel 5 series is the latest thrilling addition to 2022's seemingly infinite supply of thrilling content.

The House Across the Street tells the story of a nurse who's recovering from breast cancer while also struggling to connect with her five-year-old son, Rhys, and their suburban community. She finds purpose in a dark place, however, after a young local girl named Emily Winters disappears from her neighborhood. Before she knows it, she's heading her own investigation – where absolutely no one is immune to suspicion – for the missing child.

With so much true-crime content flooding the Internet these days, it's hardly surprising that fans are wondering if The House Across the Street is based on a true story or even a book. Fortunately, the show is entirely fictional – with all of the characters being inventions of its talented creator, Giula Sandler.
