Our House is based on the book of the same name by Louise Candlish.
The book was released in April 2018 and had huge success as a Sunday Times bestseller. It also won Book of the Year—Crime and Thriller, at the British Book Awards in 2019.
Waterstones also nominated the novel as their thriller of the month. Waterstone's said of the novel, "With a premise so deliciously sleek, you wonder how it hasn’t been arrived at before, Our House is a twisting odyssey of suburban betrayal."
What’s the plot of Our House?
Our House focuses on the lives of estranged couple Fi and Bram. One day, Fi returns to her home to find that strangers have moved into her home.
Quickly events begin to spiral and when she is unable to get into contact with her husband (played by Compston) she quickly realized that he has disappeared too.
Through a series of flashbacks that reflect on the couple's tumultuous relationship, we learn more about the secrets and lies that have been taking place within this home.

Also cast in this series is Tuppence Middleton who is best known for her work in Downton Abbey, Shadowplay, and War and Peace. Tuppence will be playing the lead character Fi, Bram's estranged wife.
