Count My Lies, an upcoming limited series that will air on Hulu, has begun filming, and more details about the book-to-screen adaptation have been coming out since the series was initially announced in 2025. Shailene Woodley and Lindsay Lohan are starring in the show, and more exciting casting updates have also been revealed, including the addition of Sophia Bush.
The upcoming show is based on Sophie Stava’s book of the same name. Count My Lies was Stava’s debut novel. It came out in March 2025 and was a Good Morning America book club pick that month.
Former This Is Us executive producers/co-showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger wrote the series and will also be serving as showrunners. It is being produced by 20th Television, Aptaker, Berger, and their The Walk-Up Company. Scott Morgan will also produce.

What is Count My Lies about?
According to the publisher, Simon & Schuster, the book’s synopsis is “Sloane Caraway is a liar. Harmless lies, mostly, 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 (very attractive) dad 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 and Violet Lockhart—the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island.”
“But maybe Sloane isn’t the only one lying, and all that’s picture-perfect harbors a much more dangerous truth. To say anything more is to spoil the most exciting, twisty, and bitingly smart suspense novel to come out in years. The thing about lies is that they add up, form their own truth, and a twisted prison of a world. ”
Who is in the Count My Lies cast?
Lohan was the first-announced star in April, according to Deadline. This is her first leading TV role. Lohan will play Violet Lockhart in the show. Woodley’s casting in the lead role of Sloane was announced on August 13, 2025. Both women will executive produce the series as well.
Kit Harington‘s casting as Jay Lockhart was confirmed by Deadline on December 4. He will be playing Lohan’s character’s husband in the show.
Per Deadline, Bush will be starring in the show as Allison in a recurring role. Her character will be as a “stylish Tribeca architect and mother.” Katherine LaNasa will play Sloane’s mother Tracy in the show, while Lou Diamond Phillips will star as Tracy’s boyfriend, Paul.
