Fool Me Once is a thriller series set to be released on Netflix on January 1, 2024. The upcoming series is the adaptation of Harlan Coben's 2016 novel of the same name. The official synopsis of the series reads:
"Harlan Coben’s Fool Me Once follows Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan) who is trying to come to terms with the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage). But when Maya installs a nanny-cam to keep an eye on her young daughter, she is shocked to see a man she recognises in her house. Her husband, who she thought was dead. Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) leads the homicide investigation into Joe's death while grappling with secrets of his own."
It further reads:
"Meanwhile, Maya's niece and nephew, Abby and Daniel, are trying to find the truth about their mother's murder, several months earlier. Are the two cases connected? Fool Me Once follows these characters on a thrilling hunt for the truth that will reveal shocking secrets and change their lives forever."
Danny Brocklehurst wrote the eight-part series, which David Moore and Nimer Rashed directed. Richard Armitage—a regular feature of Coben's series adaptions on the streaming platform, is reuniting with him in Fool Me Once.
