Shailene Woodley and Lindsay Lohan will be coming together in the Big Apple for their next project. The filming of the mystery drama miniseries ‘Count My Lies,’ backed by Hulu, will take place in New York City between March 31 and July 9 this year. Kit Harrington is also cast. Antonio Campos will direct based on a screenplay adapted by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger from Sophie Stava’s novel. Aptaker and Berger are on board as showrunners.
The story follows Sloane Caraway (Woodley), who is a liar, though her lies are harmless, mostly used to make her self-proclaimed sad, little life a bit more interesting. So when Sloane sees a young girl in tears at a park one afternoon, she can’t help herself-she tells the girl’s father she’s a nurse and helps him pull a bee stinger from the girl’s foot. With this lie and chance encounter, Sloane becomes the nanny for the wealthy and privileged Jay Lockhart (Harington) and Violet Lockhart (Lohan). They are the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island. But just like Sloane, they too have lies, and all that’s picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth.
Shailene Woodley recently appeared as Annie Clay in Season 2 of Hulu’s thriller series ‘Paradise.’ In 2025, we saw her as Sophia in ‘Motor City,’ Penelope in ‘Killer Heat,’ and Gia in ‘Three Women.’ She will be back as Jane Chapman in Season 3 of HBO Max’s ‘Big Little Lies,’ which will arrive later this year. Other projects she is involved in currently are the Netflix crime drama ‘Unabom,’ also arriving this year, and Alexandra Pechman’s mystery movie ‘The Murderous Miss Highsmith,’ co-starring Cara Delevingne and Noémie Merlant.
Lindsay Lohan has lately taken to romantic comedies, having starred in ‘Falling for Christmas,’ ‘Irish Wish,’ and ‘Our Little Secret,’ all of which are backed by Netflix. She also reprised her fan-favorite character Anna Coleman in ‘Freakier Friday,’ the sequel to ‘Freaky Friday,’ alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, who returned as Anna’s mother Tess. ‘Count My Lies’ is Lohan’s first starring role in a drama series.
Kit Harrington, star of ‘Game of Thrones,’ can be seen playing Henry Muck in HBO Max’s financial thriller show ‘Industry.’ He did a range of performances lately, playing the villainous Fin Clarke in ‘The Family Plan 2,’ time-traveller Virgil in ‘Eternal Return,’ a werewolf in ‘The Beast Within,’ and Jago in the 15th-century-set gothic horror flick ‘The Dreadful.’ Another upcoming project Harington is a part of is the Prime Video show ‘A Tale of Two Cities,’ based on the 1859 novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. He will play the character Sydney Carton.
