‘Count My Lies’: ‘Heated Rivalry’ Star Joins Lindsay Lohan’s Hulu Series

As Count My Lies continues production in New York City, more news about the upcoming limited series, which will air on Hulu, continues to be revealed. The book-to-screen adaptation was initially announced in 2025, and on June 16, a major casting announcement was made about a Heated Rivalry star joining the fold.

Count My Lies is based on Sophie Stava’s book of the same name. Stava’s debut novel came out in March 2025 and was a Good Morning America book club pick. Not long after its release, it was revealed that the show would be getting a television adaptation.

Former This Is Us executive producers/co-showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger wrote the series and will also be serving as showrunners. It is being produced by 20th Television, Aptaker, Berger, and their The Walk-Up Company. Scott Morgan will also produce.

What is Count My Lies about?

According to the publisher, Simon & Schuster, the book’s synopsis is “Sloane Caraway is a liar. Harmless lies, mostly, to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting. So, when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can’t help herself—she tells the girl’s (very attractive) dad she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot. With this lie and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged Jay and Violet Lockhart—the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.”

“But maybe Sloane isn’t the only one lying, and all that’s picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years. The thing about lies is that they add up, form their own truth, and a twisted prison of a world. ”

Who is in the Count My Lies cast?

Lindsay Lohan was the first-announced star in April, according to Deadline. This is her first leading TV role. Lohan will play Violet Lockhart in the show. Shailene Woodley‘s casting in the lead role of Sloane was announced on August 13, 2025. Both women will executive produce the series as well.

Kit Harington‘s casting as Jay Lockhart was confirmed by Deadline on December 4. He will be playing Lohan’s character’s husband in the show.

Per Deadline, Sophia Bush will be starring in the show as Allison in a recurring role. Her character will be a “stylish Tribeca architect and mother.” Katherine LaNasa will play Sloane’s mother Tracy in the show, while Lou Diamond Phillips will star as Tracy’s boyfriend, Paul.

In June 2026, Deadline also confirmed that Heated Rivalry star François Arnaud will be playing a character named Danny. He will work closely with Lohan, as his character is a friend of Violet’s.
