Netflix is gearing up for the release of its highly anticipated eight-part thriller, Fool Me Once, on July 10th, and the buzz is already palpable. The series, adapted from Harlan Coben's bestselling novel, boasts an impressive cast, and now, a major coup has been announced: acclaimed actor Andrew Scott has joined the lineup in a cameo role.

Scott, known for his captivating performances in projects like Fleabag, Sherlock, and All of Us Strangers, adds further star power to an already stacked roster that includes Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), Jessica Alba (Dark Angel, Fantastic Four), and Rita Ora (singer and actress). This ensemble cast promises a captivating viewing experience for audiences worldwide.

Fool Me Once centres around Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan), a former undercover police officer who, seeking closure after the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage), accepts a job as head of security for a shadowy biotech company.

What follows is a twisting and turning investigation into a web of deceit, secrets, and buried truths.

The series is set and filmed in the UK, offering a distinctly British atmosphere to the psychological thriller. The adaptation of Coben's novel is helmed by Howard Klein and Matthew Robins, known for their work on successful adaptations of the author’s other books, including Safe and The Stranger. This track record suggests a high-quality production that faithfully captures the suspense and intrigue of the original source material.
