Netflix’s Fool Me Once is currently blowing up the Netflix charts and, as it turns out, one of its key locations has a very explosive history of its own in another popular drama.
The Burkett family home is the real-life location of Arley Hall in Cheshire, England. It’s pulled double duty elsewhere – as Tommy Shelby’s stately manor in Peaky Blinders.
"They really thought they could fool us with Tommy Shelby's house," the Netflix UK account wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a side-by-side look at the two establishing shots of Arley Hall from each series.
The new crime thriller, starring Michelle Keegan as a woman confronted with the potential return of her dead husband Joe (Richard Armitage) has captivated viewers on Netflix – the Harlan Coben adaptation, which also stars Adeel Akhtar, Jade Anouka, and Joanna Lumley, has reached the #1 spot in the UK.
"I binged #FoolMeOnce overnight coz I couldn’t stop watching. So many twists. It had me hooked," one viewer tweeted. "I did not expect to end #FoolMeOnce in floods of tears but that was BRILLIANT," said another.
It’s already been a killer start to 2024. Two dramas – True Detective: Night Country and The Tourist season 2 – are sitting pretty on perfect Rotten Tomatoes ratings. Let’s hope the rest of the year can keep up.
All eight episodes of Fool Me Once are now streaming on Netflix. For more, check our explainer on the Fool Me Once ending. Then, once your binged your heart out, be sure to check out the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies available on the streamer.
