The eight-part series has been created by Coben<\/a> with Danny Brocklehurst, Nicola Shindler and Richard Fee, but differs from the novel in some ways.<\/p>\n The story follows Maya (Michelle Keegan<\/a>) as she is struggling in the wake of her husband Joe\u2019s murder but, one day, spots him on her daughter\u2019s \u2018nanny cam\u2019, bringing into question everything she thought she knew.<\/p>\n Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the ways in which the series differs from the novel, Keegan said: \u201cThe book\u2019s set in New York so it\u2019s totally different now because they\u2019re in Manchester. It sort of grounded it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Joanna Lumley \u2013 who plays Maya\u2019s mother-in-law Judith \u2013 admitted: \u201cI think it worked really well. It switched over very easily without any sense that you\u2019re losing too much. And also, Harlan and his team had written in a new strand which was a very English strand, Adeel\u2019s character. That whole sort of subplot was beautiful.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the book had sort of been plasticined, morphed into a kind of British shape, and it worked really well.\u201d<\/p> Lumley continued: \u201cBoth of us had read the book before we\u2019d read the scripts, and you want to read the script greedily, you look at your part, see if it\u2019s going to work, see how the scene\u2019s going to work and then read it through and see how it seems as a story. It was unputdownable, we were begging to get the next scripts.\u201d<\/p>\n The new series not only follow Keegan\u2019s Maya but, as Lumley describes, Akhtar\u2019s Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce as he works on Joe\u2019s homicide investigation while also grappling with secrets of his own.<\/p>\n As per the synopsis: \u201cMeanwhile, Maya\u2019s niece and nephew, Abby and Daniel, are trying to find the truth about their mother\u2019s murder, several months earlier. Are the two cases connected? Fool Me Once follows these characters on a thrilling hunt for the truth that will reveal shocking secrets and change their lives forever.\u201d<\/p>\n The new series is yet another addition to the Harlan Coben Netflix universe, with previous British drama hits including Safe, Stay Close and The Stranger.<\/p>\n But even though the previous slate of dramas have certainly kept viewers gripped, it seems as though Fool Me Once is set to deliver a different kind of twist.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Previously speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/strong>, Coben revealed that fans should brace themselves for what is set to be \u201cthe most shocking ending\u201d yet.<\/p>\n Coben said: \u201cWhen you binge a show on Netflix \u2026 when the show drops, people have watched all eight episodes by the time I\u2019ve woken up in the morning, it\u2019s kind of amazing. I think it\u2019s our most surprising and emotional ending.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sort of a powerhouse emotional ending, and I think our last episode, which is also unusual, is our shortest episode. Rather than try to bloat the finale, we decided we were actually just going to deliver what we wanted to in that finale.\u201d<\/p> ![\"Maya](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/fool-me-once-on-netflix-578170e.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Fool")
