The synopsis for Fatal Attraction reads:

Alongside this, Paramount+ previously announced that they would make remakes of their previous films as TV shows, including Flashdance, The Italian Job, Love Story, and The Parallax View.

As its showrunner, writer, and executive producer Alexandra Cunningham explained to Deadline:

"The screenwriter of the film James Dearden said, to him the character of Alex Forrest is not a study in madness, but rather a sad, tragic, lonely woman under pressure from a really hard job,...As a frequently sad, not at all tragic, and not as lonely as I wish I was but under pressure from a really hard job, I wanted us to go in a slightly different direction."

She added:

"This reimagining of ‘Fatal Attraction’ shares a lot with the iconic original film, but it also is about entitlement and midlife crisis and how some of the sausage gets made in our broken justice system, as well as Cluster B personality disorders, isolation, of fathers and daughters, and murder."

She continued:

"It’s about how some people just can’t take a win. It’s about self-image and what we’ll do to protect it and also what happens when someone doesn’t have one. And if we’ve done our job, which these actors and their colleagues definitely did, they think that your sympathies will shift more than once."

The first episode of Fatal Attraction will premiere on Paramount+ on April 30, 2023.
