Fatal Attraction

Drama series debuts April 30 on Paramount+

A "deep-dive reimagining" (or, to use a technical term, embiggening) of Adrian Lyne's 1987 love triangle thriller, this Fatal Attraction stars Joshua Jackson as Dan Gallagher (played in the film by Michael Douglas), Amanda Peet as his wife Beth (Anne Archer in the movie), and Lizzy Caplan as his obsessive mistress Alex Forrest—the role made famous by Glenn Close. Toby Huss and Reno Wilson also star, while the series adaptation comes from Alexandra Cunningham (Dirty John) and Kevin J. Hynes (Perry Mason).

The first three (of eight) episodes stream on day one. Haven't seen the original film? That, too, will stream on Paramount+ this month (beginning April 1st).
