Following her recent comeback on the big screen with the 2025 film “Freakier Friday”, Lindsay Lohan is gearing up for a small-screen debut as the leading star of an upcoming Hulu drama series. What’s particularly noteworthy is that she won’t just be celebrating the box office success of the “Freaky Friday” sequel, but will also share the limelight with an Emmy-nominated actress in this streaming production, ready for a fierce on-screen rivalry.
The show “Count My Lies” presents a con artist who secures a nanny position for Violet (portrayed by Lindsay Lohan) and Jay Lockhart, but this job might not be as appealing as she thinks. The household is brimming with secrets, and based on the plot alone, it’s safe to assume that the risks involved will be substantial. Despite not having read the book of the same title (written by Sophie Stava), I can confidently anticipate high-stakes drama. According to Variety, “Count My Lies” has secured a series order from Hulu, with Shailene Woodley from “Big Little Lies” set to play the deceiver under the name Sloane Caraway.
The duo of Lohan and Woodley promises an intriguing combination for the co-leads. Over the last ten years, Woodley has held numerous significant roles on TV, and she’ll be teaming up with Sterling K. Brown in Paradise Season 2, which airs on Hulu. On the other hand, Lohan hasn’t previously been a lead in a scripted drama series despite an extensive filmography. In addition to their acting roles, both actresses will also take on executive producer positions for Count My Lies.
Although no specific release date has been given for when the drama Count My Lies will be accessible with a Hulu subscription, there’s an impressive group working behind the scenes on this production. Previously of the series This Is Us, Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger are set to serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers. Interestingly enough, the new series had only a few connections to Shailene Woodley prior to her casting being announced.
Upon arriving on “Paradise,” Meryl Woodley joins forces with Dan Fogelman, the creator of “This Is Us,” along with Sterling K. Brown, a former star, all of whom collaborated with Aptaker and Berger during the peak years of “This Is Us” on NBC. Besides her Emmy-nominated role in “Big Little Lies” and upcoming part in “Paradise” Season 2, Woodley has also held leading roles in series like “Secret Life of the American Teenager,” “Three Women,” and notably, she initially played Kaitlin Cooper on “The O.C,” a role later taken by Willa Holland.
Regarding Lindsay Lohan, the lead drama role in “Count My Lies” won’t just be her first foray into TV, but also marks a change in direction. Known as a queen of romantic comedies and cherished by millennials for “Mean Girls,” Lohan expressed excitement about this project since it offers something different – a plot that doesn’t end with a grand kiss.
The series titled “Count My Lies” is advertised as a limited one, implying that Lindsay Lohan’s initial main television role may not continue past the first season. Nevertheless, it will be intriguing to observe her acting talents being showcased once again after numerous romantic comedies, and reuniting with Jamie Lee Curtis in the sequel of Freaky Friday.
At present, we’re just keeping tabs for further announcements regarding the remaining cast members of “Count My Lies” and its potential release date on Hulu. While we wait, feel free to explore a variety of upcoming shows in our 2025 TV lineup.
