Paramount+ has released the official trailer and art for their upcoming original series, Fatal Attraction.
The all-new series is a deep dive reimagining of the 1980s cultural touchstone Fatal Attraction through the lens of privilege, personality disorders, family dynamics, and murder. In the present day, after serving 15 years in prison for the murder of Alexandra Forrest (Lizzy Caplan), Daniel Gallagher (Joshua Jackson) is paroled with the goals of reconnecting with his family and proving his innocence. In 2008, Dan first met Alex, and his world begins to unravel after their brief affair threatens to destroy the life he’s built with his wife, Beth (Amanda Peet).
The series stars Jackson (Dawson’s Creek) as Dan Gallagher, Caplan (Mean Girls) as Alex Forrest, Peet (The Whole Nine Yards) as Beth Gallagher, Toby Huss (King of the Hill) as Mike Gerard, Brian Goodman (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) as Arthur Tomlinson, Alyssa Jirrels (As We See It) as Ellen Gallagher, and Reno Wilson (Mike & Molly) as Detective Earl Brooker.
