The upcoming Lifetime thriller film, Stranger Next Door, is all set to premiere on the channel on Sunday, March 5, 2023. The movie focuses on a former law enforcement officer who leads an extremely secluded life after a devastating trial. Her life takes a shocking turn following the arrival of a new neighbor. Here's the official synopsis of the movie, according to Lifetime:

''Medically retired law enforcement officer, Rochelle Sellers, secluded after a highly publicized trial where she identified a law enforcement officer in a crime, spends most of her time working from home, consulting, in hopes for a new start. After being ostracized by her former department, she lost everything, and now she resides with her father where she is his primary caretaker. It’s a lonely life, but Rochelle accepts it.''

The description further states,

''As she settles into her normalcy, Rochelle’s world is turned around, when a new neighbor moves in next door. She is instantly fascinated by him. He looks like something straight out of her dreams. One night she unintentionally gets his attention, and something happens.''

The synopsis concludes,

''The mysterious, se*y, and edgy stranger becomes interested in her, obsessively so. What started as a fantasy crush elevates into a dangerous game that risks far more than heartbreak. This stranger is much more than he seems.''

The film stars Vicky Jeudy in the lead role along with various others playing important supporting roles. It is directed by Victoria Rowell and written by Camara Davis.
