Jessica Harper (The Old Man), John Getz (Doom Patrol), Toks Olagundoye (Veep), David Sullivan (The Wilds) and newcomer Isabella Briggs have been tapped for key recurring roles on Fatal Attraction, Paramount+’s series reimagining of the classic 1980s psychosexual thriller film.
Harper and Getz will play Beth’s parents, portrayed by Meg Mundy and Tom Brennan as Joan and Howard Rogerson in the movie. The characters played by Olagundoye, Sullivan and Briggs are new.
Harper is Sophie, Beth’s (Peet) mother a dryly witty New England transplant who loves her daughter and granddaughter and also a cocktail.
Getz is Warren, Beth’s father, who retired from the financial sector and does not suffer fools lightly. He puts up with Dan (Joshua Jackson) for Beth’s sake but isn’t impressed by Dan’s career or his ability to provide for his family.
Olagundoye plays Conchita Lewis, the head of the Victims Services Bureau and a longtime colleague and friend of Dan as well as Alex’s (Lizzy Caplan) boss.
Sullivan portrays Frank Gallardo, Dan’s #2 in the Major Crimes Bureau. Frank is a fast-talking prosecutor who habitually juggles a mistress and enjoys making things awkward for other people. Dan didn’t hire him and doesn’t like him but can’t fire him so has learned to live with him.
Briggs plays Stella. Cheerfully energetic with a warm vibe, she is welcoming and confident and disarming when she wants to be friends.
