Wahlberg Thriller “Fear” Becomes A Series

Universal Pictures

Peacock is reportedly developing a series that’s said to be a modern reinvention of the Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon-led 1996 thriller “Fear”.

The story follows two young lovers in a psychological game of cat and mouse – but who’s the cat, and who’s the mouse? When David and Nicole first meet in Seattle, it feels like an epic, once-in-a-lifetime romance.

Soon it becomes clear that the seemingly perfect couple is anything but. Told from conflicting points of view, the series wrestles with personal demons, hidden agendas and reframes the “he said she said convention into a twist-filled suspense story about toxic relationships.”

Jessica Goldberg (“The Path”) is set to write and executive produce the adaptation with Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Lilly Burns and Kristen Zolner executive producing for Imagine Television and Universal Television.

Alyssa Milano, William Petersen and Amy Brenneman co-starred in the James Foley directed original.
