Netflix's latest project, "Fool Me Once," marks another collaboration with best-selling author Harlan Coben, featuring British actor Michelle Keegan in the lead role. Set to debut globally on January 1, 2024, the eight-part series deviates from the original 2016 novel's U.S. setting, opting for the United Kingdom.
The lead writer for «Fool Me Once» is Danny Brocklehurst, known for his work on «Brassic» and «Come Home,» with assistance from Charlotte Coben, Yemi Oyefuwa, Nina Metivier, and Tom Farrelly. Directing duties fall on David Moore and Nimer Rashed.
The narrative centers on Maya Stern, played by Michelle Keegan, coping with her husband Joe's brutal murder. A nanny-cam revelation thrusts her into a perplexing situation when she spots a man resembling her supposedly deceased husband in her home. Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce, portrayed by Adeel Akhtar, leads the homicide investigation into Joe's death, unraveling personal secrets.
Producers Nicola Shindler and Jessica Taylor, along with Quay Street Productions, oversee the production. The series promises a gripping exploration of interconnected mysteries.
Michelle Keegan, Adeel Akhtar, Emmett J. Scanlan, Richard Armitage, and Joanna Lumley lead the cast for Netflix's new limited thriller series. The Sun first reported on February 18 that Keegan signed a “six-figure deal” to star in the new series.
