Netflix is creating another adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel called Fool Me Once, with Michelle Keegan taking the lead.
So far, three have been adapted by Netflix called The Stranger, Safe, and Stay Close. But when is Fool Me Once on Netflix and what is the new series about? Here’s what we know…
WHAT IS FOOL ME ONCE ON NETFLIX ABOUT?
The plot of Fool Me Once sees main character Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan) trying to come to terms with the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage).
In a bid to keep an eye on their young daughter, she installs a nanny cam but is shocked to see the husband she thought was dead is still visiting the house.
Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) is leading the investigation into Joe’s death, but he’s also, “grappling with secrets of his own.”
Meanwhile, Maya’s niece and nephew, Abby and Daniel, are still trying to find out the truth about the death of their mother, who was killed just months before Joe.
Opening up about the new series, author Harlan Coben said, “I’m thrilled and honored to once again be collaborating with my uber-talented partners Danny (writer Danny Brocklehurst), Nicola (executive producer Nicola Shindler) and Richard (executive producer Richard Fee).
“Fool Me Once will be our fourth Netflix series together, and man, it never gets old! Fool Me Once is a pulse-pounder - a shocking story of how secrets and deceit have the power to bring people together while simultaneously tearing them apart. I can’t wait to see how this dream cast brings these characters to life."
