The series will be written by Danny Brocklehurst (Brassic, Come Home) with Charlotte Coben, Yemi Oyefuwa, Nina Metivier and Tom Farrelly and executive produced by Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee at Quay Street Productions.

Harlan Coben 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!

“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.”
