Netflix’s Dead Letters is poised to be a psychological thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Starring and executive produced by Lucy Hale, the series is based on Caite Dolan-Leach’s 2017 novel and delves into the dark and twisted world of identical twins. The show follows Ava, played by Hale, who returns to her family’s vineyard after the sudden death of her twin sister, Zelda. What begins as a return to family turns into a chilling journey as Ava uncovers a series of “dead letters” left behind by Zelda—a scavenger hunt of cryptic messages that forces Ava to confront painful secrets, betrayal, and a twisted reality that questions everything she thought she knew about her sister.
The series is being backed by a powerful team, including Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper’s Unwell Productions, Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, and a strong producing team that includes the author, Dolan-Leach, and several heavyweights from TV and podcasting. The script is written by Rachel Caris Love, known for her work on Invitation to a Bonfire and Blindspot, while Liz Friedlander, who has directed for shows like The Rookie and Shining Vale, is helming the project.
This series marks a significant moment for Hale, who is returning to TV after roles in Katy Keene, Ragdoll, and other recent films. Dead Letters not only promises to dive deep into psychological suspense but also gives Hale a chance to take on a dual role as both twins, which will undoubtedly add depth and intrigue to the plot.
With the involvement of top-tier talent and a gripping premise, Dead Letters has all the makings of a must-watch show on Netflix. The series is expected to deliver both the tension and twists that fans of psychological thrillers crave, with a stellar team behind it making sure every twist hits hard.
