Adeel appears as the lead detective who holds some dark secrets of his own and Joanna will appear as Keegan’s mother-in-law. Richard Armitage plays the role of Maya Stern’s murdered husband – or not murdered who knows with all the twists and turns Coben throws our way.

The show will be the eight book to screen adaptation for Harlan Coben who has worked with local screenwriters globally to bring his award winning books to life on screen. Speaking on the new series he said: “I’m thrilled and honoured to once again be collaborating with my uber-talented partners Danny, Nicola and Richard. ‘Fool Me Once’ will be our fourth Netflix series together, and man, it never gets old!”

He continues saying: “‘Fool Me Once’ is a pulse-pounder — a shocking story of how secrets and deceit have the power to bring people together while simultaneously tearing them apart. I can’t wait to see how this dream cast brings these characters to life.”
