Where to Watch 'Fool Me Once': Where is the Harlan Coben Adaptation Streaming? (2025)

A once happy marriage is set to be turned upside down with Fool Me Once - a new mystery drama series that sees a wife suspect hidden secrets from her supposedly late husband. Based on the acclaimed novel by Harlan Coben, Fool Me Once sees Maya Stern's (Michelle Keegan) once-normal life go entirely awry when her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage), is mysteriously murdered. That profound sense of grief turns into utter confusion when Maya discovers an alive and well Joe on her daughter's nanny's cam. This causes Maya to embark on some detective work of her own to find out the truth about her husband's alleged death and who he really was.

It's a shocking mystery tale where every person in Maya's life is a potential suspect, and there's bound to be plenty of twists and turns along the way. If you're a murder-mystery fan reading this, then chances are you're leading an investigation of your own, that being where you can watch Maya's journey unfold. If that's true, we're happy to tell you that the case is about to be closed, as we have the answer for where you can watch Fool Me Once and more right down below.

Is 'Fool Me Once' Streaming Online?

Fool Me Once will be making its streaming home exclusively on Netflix, which is fitting given that the streamer already has a wealth of mystery content.

Watch the Trailer for 'Fool Me Once'

The first trailer for Fool Me Once was released by Netflix on December 7th, 2023, introducing audiences everywhere to Harlan Coben's latest mystery tale. The trailer begins with a brief glimpse into Maya and Joe's happier times when they were a newly married couple, only for that to come crumbling down when Joe is reported to have been fatally shot. This results in an understandable period of depression for Maya, now a single mother to her young child. Maya is then shocked to discover that a man who looks remarkably like Joe has appeared on her daughter's nanny cam after he was thought to be dead. Maya tries to convince her friends and family of what she saw, but nobody believes her, not even her judgmental mother-in-law, Judith (Joanna Lumley). Realizing that she's more than likely on her own in solving this mystery, Maya decides to become an impromptu detective and discover Joe's true fate.

What's the 'Fool Me Once' Episode Schedule?
