The Paramount+ series Fatal Attraction starts streaming on the channel on Sunday, April 30, 2023. The first two episodes will drop on the same day, while the rest will be released on a weekly basis with the finale airing on June 11, 2023. The show is a reboot of the 1987 film of the same name, and stars Lizzy Caplan and Joshua Jackson in the lead roles.
The show tells a gripping story of how a short affair between Dan Gallagher (Jackson) and Alex Forrest (Caplan) spirals out of control. It spins into the realm of danger when Alex refuses to allow it to come to an end and becomes deeply obsessed with Dan. As per IMDb, the synopsis of Fatal Attraction reads:
"A deep-dive reimagining of the classic 80's thriller, exploring timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes toward strong women, personality disorders and coercive control."
Filming began in the summer of 2022, with most of it taking place in Los Angeles.
Fatal Attraction was shot in Los Angeles
The official trailer for Fatal Attraction dropped on April 3, 2023. It showcases that most of the series takes place in urban neighborhoods and interiors such as residential houses, offices, restaurants, and the courtroom.
According to a report by Just Jared, the eight-episode series utilized various popular Los Angeles locations to shoot the series. These included places such as the Los Angeles Center Studios’ Home Office Building, The Prince Restaurant in Koreatown, and downtown LA’s Original Pantry Cafe.
It's no surprise that the city of Los Angeles was used to shoot the series, as that's where the heart of Hollywood is. Some recent movies and series that were also mostly shot in L.A. include the TV shows The Mandalorian and Barry, and the movies Ambulance and Licorice Pizza.
The Gallagher Residence features prominently in the trailer, with both its exterior and interior showcased extensively. This residential house can be found in South Pasadena and was also used in movies like Jurassic Park III and XXX: State of the Union.
The original 1987 film took place and was shot in New York, while the 2023 reboot switches to Los Angeles as its setting.
