That is, until she spots him walking around on her nanny cam's footage.
After she realises her husband is still alive, Stern's whole life comes crashing down.
The new series, based on Harlan Coben’s hugely popular novel of the same name, has been in the works for a while.
It was announced earlier this year, and confirmed by Netflix to consist of eight 60-minute episodes.
That's perfect for a binge session!
The official Netflix description reads: “Harlan Coben’s Fool Me Once follows Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan) who is trying to come to terms with the brutal murder of her husband, Joe (Richard Armitage).

“Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (Adeel Akhtar) leads the homicide investigation into Joe's death while grappling with secrets of his own. Meanwhile, Maya's niece and nephew, Abby and Daniel, are trying to find the truth about their mother's murder, several months earlier.
“Are the two cases connected? Fool Me Once follows these characters on a thrilling hunt for the truth that will reveal shocking secrets and change their lives forever."
Although the book was set in the US, the Netflix adaptation sees the story moved to Manchester, UK, where filming took place in February of 2023.
And alongside Keegan, we have iconic names like Joanna Lumley, Adeel Akhtar and Dino Fetscher in the cast list.
Commenting on the project, Coben said earlier this year: “I’m thrilled and honoured to once again be collaborating with my uber-talented partners Danny, Nicola and Richard.
“Fool Me Once will be our fourth Netflix series [following Safe, The Stranger and Stay Close] together, and man, it never gets old!
“Fool Me Once is a pulse-pounder - a shocking story of how secrets and deceit have the power to bring people together while simultaneously tearing them apart.
“I can’t wait to see how this dream cast brings these characters to life.”
The series is set to drop on 1 January, making it the perfect fodder for your New Year's Eve hangover!
