TV One Previews Dark New Chapter of ‘Fatal Attraction’ Franchise

TV One is pulling back the curtain on its latest true-crime offering, releasing an extended trailer for “Fatal Attraction: I’d Kill to Be You,” a new installment in the network’s long-running Fatal Attraction franchise.

Set to premiere Friday, Jan. 26, at 10 p.m. ET, the series dives into cases where envy and obsession escalate into deadly consequences. The newly released footage teases disturbing real-life stories in which admiration turns into fixation — and, ultimately, violence.

Unlike traditional crime narratives focused solely on romantic relationships, I’d Kill to Be You widens the lens. The series examines friendships that sour, workplace rivalries fueled by jealousy, and identity-theft cases that end in murder. Each episode explores how the desire to replicate someone else’s life — appearance, relationships, or success — can spiral out of control.

The show pairs dramatic reenactments with expert analysis, offering insight into the psychological and social factors that drive obsession-based crimes. Investigators, survivors and victims’ family members also share firsthand accounts, grounding each case in lived experience rather than spectacle.

Producers also frame the series within a modern context, highlighting how social media, constant comparison and curated online identities can intensify feelings of inadequacy and envy. The result is a chilling reflection of how contemporary culture can amplify dangerous impulses.

“Fatal Attraction: I’d Kill to Be You” continues TV One’s focus on true-crime storytelling that centers real people and real consequences, while challenging viewers to consider the darker side of human connection.
