Who Is in the Cast of Hulu’s ‘Count My Lies’?
At the moment, Lohan and Woodley are the only big names attached to the upcoming series. So for now, we don’t know who else will be joining the two lead actresses onscreen for this book-to-series adaptation. Additionally, Hulu has not confirmed a release date for the limited series, so we’re not sure when the show will premiere. But if production starts later this year, we speculate the limited series could be released sometime in 2026. Being thatCount My Lieswill serve as a limited series, we’re confident that the show will not be renewed for Season 2.
Starring inCount My Lieswill be Lohan’s first leading role in a TV show. Of course, the former child star has dabbled in the world of television before. Remember when Lohan made a guest appearance onABC’sUgly Bettystarring America Ferrera? InUgly BettySeason 3, Logan played a guest role for a total of four episodes, but her character was later written off. In the early 2000s, Lohan starred in several family-friendly movies, such asThe Parent Trap,ABC’sLife-Size, Disney Channel’sGet a Clue,Freaky Friday, andConfessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Most recently, Lohan has starred in a number of Netflix Original movies, includingIrish Wish, Falling for ChristmasandOur Little Secret.
But when it comes to Lohan’s co-star, Woodley is no stranger to working on television. She has starred in the ABC Family seriesThe Secret Life of the American Teenagerand the Emmy Award-winning seriesBig Little Lies. Her most recent credits include the Starz seriesThree Womenand Prime Video’sKiller Heat. It has also been announced that Woodley will play a recurring role inSeason 2 ofParadise, the political thriller series helmed byThis Is Uscreator and executive producer Dan Fogelman.
