What appears to be Sloane’s ideal job soon unravels as she discovers that the Lockhart household is rife with secrets that could lead to explosive and potentially catastrophic consequences for all involved.

Creative Team:

The series is helmed by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, renowned for their work as co-showrunners on This Is Us. Both will serve as executive producers and showrunners for Count My Lies, alongside Lohan and Woodley. Sophie Stava, the author of the original novel, will also join as a producer. The series is produced by 20th Television.
