Fatal Attraction Cast & EPs Discuss Paramount+ Series' Modern Take

Hitting Paramount+ screens on April 30th, the cast & executive producers from Fatal Attraction discuss the series' modern take on the film.

Set to hit screens on April 30th, Paramount+'s Fatal Attraction is told from different perspectives & different time periods, focusing on Lizzy Caplan's Alex, who becomes obsessed with her lover Dan (Joshua Jackson) after their brief affair (with Amanda Peet starring as Dan's wife, Beth). What results is a deep-dive reimagining of the 1987 Michael Douglas & Glenn Close film exploring the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes towards strong women, personality disorders, and coercive control. Now, with less than two weeks to go, Jackson, Caplan, Peet, Alyssa Jirrels, EPs Alexandra Cunningham & Silver Tree, and more share what makes the series so different from the original film and why it's important for the focus of the story to come through a modern lens.

Here's a look at the Paramount+ featurette, followed by a look back at what we know so far about the first six episodes (including episode titles & preview images):
