Fatal Attraction, Series Premiere, Sunday, April 30, Paramount+
Lizzy Caplan & Joshua Jackson
Caplan and Jackson’s Alex and Dan will collide in a tumultuous affair in Paramount+’s adaptation. Fatal Attraction explores the themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes toward strong women, personality disorders, and coercive control.
Amanda Peet
Peet plays Beth, a loyal and loving mother whose life is upended by her husband’s infidelity.
Alyssa Jirrels
Jirrels plays Ellen, the daughter of Dan and Beth. Her character is older than the child featured in the original Fatal Attraction movie.
Lizzy Caplan
Caplan’s Alex will become obsessed with Dan after their brief affair.
Joshua Jackson
Jackson’s Dan is the object of Alex’s obsession, but this iteration will have a modern take on the twisted narrative. Dan may have more guilt to bear than he’s willing to admit.
Alyssa Jirrels & Amanda Peet
Ellen and Beth will have to contend with the fact that Dan strayed from their family and the possible danger that could bring.
Fatal Attraction Team: Silver Tree, Alexandra Cunningham & Kevin J. Hynes
Tree, Cunningham, and Hynes are three of the creative minds behind Paramount+’s reimagined take on the 1987 film.
