The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies tells the story of two very different women and the conman they have in common.
The five-part comedic thriller stars Oscar nominee Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths, Secrets & Lies), Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, Rogue One) and Rebekah Staton (Raised by Wolves, The Midwich Cuckoos) as Cheryl, Rob and Alice respectively.
The Guardian’s 4/5-star review calls the series “a joyfully fun takedown of a scammer ex-husband… a total thrill… whimsical and satisfying to the end.”
