Channel 5 has announced brand new series The Feud, with another cracking cast, including Jill Halfpenny, Rupert Penry-Jones, and Chris Gascoyne in his first TV role since leaving Coronation Street.
The Feud is an upcoming drama which will focus on what appears to be a seemingly peaceful street, and the ‘friendly neighbours’ who live there.
But this is a TV drama we’re talking about – so things are no way as perfect as they look! Here’s everything you need to know about The Feud on Channel 5.

What is the plot of The Feud on Channel 5?
The Feud is a new domestic thriller “full of paranoia” coming later this year to Channel 5.
It introduces happily married couple Emma and John Barnett who, along with their teenage daughter Beth, appear to live an idyllic life on Shelbury Drive.
They’re close friends with their neighbours, Sonia and Alan, and are also fond of older couple, Derek and Barbara – despite their eccentricities – who also live on the street.
However, anyone who has ever watched a TV drama before, will have guessed that the close friendships in this seemingly peaceful street prove to be not quite as harmonious as they seem…
When Emma and John decide to add a kitchen extension to their house, things quickly start to spin drastically out of control. As objections to the plans are raised, unexpected skeletons and life-threatening secrets begin to rise to the surface. Does Emma know the people around her as well as she thinks? Who is hiding behind facades, who is manipulating events, and who is simply exactly who they appear to be?
Channel 5 tells us that The Feud is “laced with menace”. The plot synopsis tells us: “The Feud reveals how Emma’s aspirational dream turns sharply into obsession, paranoia, and fear. One decision sets in motion events that have unforeseeable consequences for both her and the people living on her street.”
How many episodes is The Feud? When’s the start date?
The Feud is set to be six episodes, airing on Channel 5 and My5.
Each episode will be one hour long, including ad breaks.
The Feud has started filming in Newcastle and is set to air on Channel 5 in 2025.
