After the attempt to turn American Gigolo into a streaming weekly series, it is now the turn of Fatal Attraction to be reimagined.

Now, Paramount Plus will bring the movie up to date with an original series that will hit the platform on May 1st. This time, the main roles will be played by Joshua Jackson, Lizzy Caplan, and Amanda Peet. The teaser trailer for the series has been released. Let’s see what we can expect when the show premieres:
