The TV series adaptation of classic thriller FatalAttraction, starring Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson in lead roles, is officially set to start filming this summer.
The television adaptation of Fatal Attraction is set to begin production this summer. Released in 1987 with Michael Douglas and Glenn Close starring in the lead roles, Fatal Attraction focused on a weekend affair that turns into a dangerous one-sided obsession. The erotic thriller was a huge success upon its debut, garnering praise from critics and grossing $320 million at the box office against a reported budget of $14 million to become the highest-earning title of the year.
Back in November of 2021, it was announced that Paramount+ was moving forward with a Fatal Attraction television series. Lizzy Caplan would play the female lead, named Alex as in the film, while Joshua Jackson would play Dan Gallagher, the name of Douglas’ character. The project marks a reunion for Caplan and Jackson, who previously worked together on the Showtime series Masters of Sex.
Fatal Attraction promises to explore themes of marriage and infidelity through a modern lens, while also examining modern attitudes towards women, mental health, and the concept of control in relationships. From how the premise has been teased, it’s likely the case that the Fatal Attraction series will go deeper than its movie predecessor. In the decades since the original film was released, there have been many discussions regarding its portrayal of Alex.
Looking ahead to the rest of the upcoming projects from Paramount+, and like many of its competitors, the streaming service will rely on its legacy titles to draw subscribers. New versions of The Italian Job, Flashdance, Grease, and The Fairly OddParents are all in various stages of pre-release.
