Spot the Liar on October 30: Netflix Unveils Launch Date and First Look Images for Swedish Psychological Thriller 'A Couple of Lies'

Secrets, suspicions and schemes: A Couple of Lies, a new 4‑part seductive psychological thriller starring Emma Appleton, Fares Fares, Frida Gustavsson and Jakob Oftebro, premieres on Netflix on October 30.

Based on the novel by the same name by best‑selling crime author Stefan Ahnhem, the limited series follows two couples whose dream holiday home swap spirals into something far more dangerous, leaving them unsure whether they can even trust the person they love.

A Couple of Lies is directed by Kasper Barfoed (The Nurse), adapted for the screen by Amanda Högberg (Diary of a Ditched girl, Deliver me) and Axel Stjärne (Maffia, Top Dog) and produced by Frida Asp and Fatima Varhos for Asp Varhos; the producer duo behind acclaimed Netflix series such as Love & Anarchy, Barracuda Queens and Deliver Me.

ABOUT A COUPLE OF LIES

Synopsis: Helene (Frida Gustavsson) and Carl (Fares Fares) trade their home in Stockholm's archipelago for a sun-drenched villa in Sicily, swapping lives for some weeks with Scarlett (Emma Appleton) and Adam (Jakob Oftebro); a couple they've never met. But as they settle into each other's houses, unsettling details begin to surface. As secrets emerge and hidden betrayals come to light, what started as a picture‑perfect escape slowly warps into a twisted game of surveillance, manipulation and mistrust.

Key cast: Emma Appleton, Fares Fares, Frida Gustavsson, Jakob Oftebro, Diarmuid Noyes, Magnus Krepper, Anna Bjelkerud and Lars Väringer.

Director: Kasper Barfoed

Producers: Frida Asp and Fatima Varhos for Asp Varhos

Writers: Amanda Högberg (head writer) and Axel Stjärne

Production Company: Asp Varhos

Based on: Stefan Ahnhem's novel A Couple of Lies
