Written by the creators of Nobodies, The Woman in the House Cross the Street from the Girl in the Window follows Anna (Kristen Bell), a woman grieving her daughter and failed relationship who spends her days sitting in her front room, staring out of the window with a large glass of wine in hand.

When charming single dad Neil (Tom Riley) moves across the road with his young daughter Emma (Samsara Yett), Anna becomes smitten with the pair and makes an effort to get to know them. "That is until she witnesses a gruesome murder...Or did she?" Netflix teases.
