One of the most popular and iconic movies of the 1980s, Fatal Attraction had all the ingredients to be remade. Nominated for six Academy Awards, the story revolves around Daniel Gallagher (Michael Douglas), a married man who has a short-lived affair with Alex Forrest (Glenn Close). After he tries to break it off, she becomes obsessed with him and threatens to ruin his career and family, before going to increasingly drastic steps to do so.
The Fatal Attraction remake immediately looked compelling when Paramount Plus announced Joshua Jackson (The Affair, Dr. Death) and Lizzy Caplan (Party Down, Fleishman Is In Trouble) had been tasked with portraying Gallagher and Forrest in the eight-episode long mini-series. Caplan has firmly established herself as one of the funniest, smartest and most captivating actresses of recent years, while Jackson has also perfected playing deeply flawed every-men with his mysterious presence.
