June 1, 2022 - Paramount+ today announced Amanda Peet ("Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story") will join the cast of the service's upcoming original series FATAL ATTRACTION, from Paramount Television Studios and Amblin Television. Peet joins previously announced cast members Lizzy Caplan ("Castle Rock," "Masters of Sex"), who stars as Alex Forrest and Joshua Jackson ("Dr. Death"), who stars as Dan Gallagher.

Peet will star as Beth Gallagher, a loyal wife, loving mother and successful small business owner whose world unravels when her husband Dan's (Jackson) indiscretion threatens to destroy their life together.

Her play "The Commons of Pensacola," which was produced by Manhattan Theatre Club, starred Blythe Danner and Sarah Jessica Parker. Her most recent play, "Our Very Own Carlin McCullough," ran in 2018 at The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.  Most recently, Peet created the series "The Chair" starring Sandra Oh.

Alexandra Cunningham ("Dirty John," "Chance") serves as writer, showrunner and executive producer on the series alongside executive producer Kevin J.
