But the opportunity to expand upon Alex Forrest’s story was simply too enticing for the showrunner.
And let’s just say Alex didn’t appreciate it when Dan wanted to stay with his wife.
With that idea of shifting perspectives guiding her, Cunningham started writing the show.
Thankfully, for Caplan, the project was an easy “yes.”
A big fan of the film, Caplan immediately saw that there was more to explore.
“There’s a lot to unpack with her,” Caplan continues.
“She has a full backstory and a full point of view in our show.
Playing the Dan to Caplan’s Alex isJoshua Jackson.
“He was the greatest partner.
We had to do some pretty full-on stuff with each other.
Fatal Attractionwill hit Paramount+ in early 2023.
