Paramount+ has added Doreen Calderon (Loot) to the upcoming series, Fatal Attraction, which is a reimagining of Adrian Lyne’s 1987 film of the same name. Calderon will play Maureen Walker, the longtime assistant of Dan, played by Joshua Jackson (Little Fires Everywhere). Maureen worked for Dan’s father before him and has earned enough respect to tease her boss while anticipating his thoughts and remaining level-headed, as reported by Deadline.
In addition to Calderon and Jackson, previously announced cast members include Emmy Award nominee Lizzy Caplan (Castle Rock) as Alex, Amanda Peet (Dirty John) as Beth Gallagher, Isabella Briggs (After School) as Stella, Wanda De Jesus (Gentefied) as Marcella Leyva, John Getz (Grace and Frankie) as Warren, and Brian Goodman (Rizzoli & Isles) as Arthur Tomlinson. Jessica Harper (The Old Man) will play Sophie alongside Toby Huss (Dickinson) as Mike Gerard, Alyssa Jirrels (As We See It) as Ellen Gallagher, Toks Olagundoye (Big Shot) as Conchita Lewis, David Sullivan (Snowfall) as Frank Gallardo, and Reno Wilson (Good Girls) as Detective Earl Booker, per Deadline.
Alexandra Cunnigham (Physical) wrote Fatal Attraction based on her co-written story with Kevin J. Hynes (Perry Mason). Cunningham and Hynes will executive produce the series alongside four-time Emmy Award nominee Justin Falvey (Resident Alien), Emmy Award winner Darryl Frank (The Haunting of Bly Manor), and Silver Tree (Dead to Me), who is also set to direct the project.
Calderon’s recent credits include FOX’s Call Me Kat, CW’s Riverdale, Emmy Award winners This Is Us and The Big Bang Theory, Netflix’s The Politician, TNT’s Animal Kingdom, FOX’s Proven Innocent, and CW’s All American. Calderon is also set to star in the upcoming films The Curse of the Clown Motel from directors Asif Akbar (Astro) and Lance Kawas (Good Thief) and Failure! from director Alex Kahuam (Forgiveness).
Paramount+ has yet to confirm a release date for Fatal Attraction.
