Yahoo News Fatal Attraction's Lizzy Caplan reacts to the show's divisive ending
Fatal Attraction finale spoilers follow.
The Fatal Attraction TV series has (seemingly) come to an end, with The Affair's Joshua Jackson and Mean Girls' Lizzy Caplan taking on the roles made famous by Michael Douglas and Glenn Close in the 1987 classic thriller.
The series takes the plot down a different path to the film, with Alex's killer not being Dan's wife Beth, but Beth's best friend and business partner Arthur.
He thought about coming forward about strangling Alex and dumping her body, but a lawyer warns him against it, stating no-one would believe him.
In another twist, Dan's daughter Ellen (played by Bird Box's Vivien Lyra Blair) starts to some exhibit Alex-esque manipulation, potentially leaving the door open for more.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Lizzy Caplan talked about the divisive nature of the new ending
"I kind of I love a good, mysterious ending," she said. "I also know that in the film, there was a different ending, you know, pretty famously.
"And there could have been something nice about doing that ending. But I think you know, one of the nice things about doing a limited series is you get eight hours to explore a lot of characters, more characters than you ever would have the time to explore in a film.

"I'm hoping that there's enough of a payoff with that character, that it makes sense that he did what he did. Yeah. Yeah. And then it feels satisfying for audiences. But yeah, at that point, you know, sort of out of my control."
Fatal Attraction is available to stream in full now on Paramount+.
