Joshua Jackson Joins the Cast of Fatal Attraction
Dawson’s Creek actor Joshua Jackson is expected to star alongside actor Lizzy Caplan in the Paramount+ reboot of the 1987 thriller movie, Fatal Attraction. The writer of the reboot, Alexandra Cunningham, is changing the film into a TV series streamed exclusively through Paramount+.
Jackson will portray Dan Gallagher who has a brief sexual encounter with Alex Forrest (Lizzy Caplan). The experience comes back to haunt them as it leads to awkward encounters in the future. The series and film are expected to be slightly similar; however, a key difference between the two is the perspective depicted.

According to Deadline, “Paramount Television Studios and Amblin Television series explores the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes towards strong women, personality disorders and coercive control.”
While there haven’t been any public announcements about the development of the Paramount+ reboot of Fatal Attraction, the president of Paramount+ Original Scripted Series, Nicole Clemens, believes that the chemistry between Jackson and Caplan is crucial to the show.
She further on adds, “Joshua is an incredible talent who creates beautifully complicated characters on both the screen and stage…He and Lizzy are perfectly matched to tell a nuanced and modern narrative about the complexities of the human psyche. We’re thrilled to partner with them to bring this provocative and captivating story to a new generation.”
