Lizzy Caplan rocks an animal coat as she reflects on playing two very different women in new shows

Lizzy Caplan stayed busy on Tuesday promoting not one, but two new projects in New York.

The 40-year-old actress rocked a floor-length snake-print leather jacket and pale yellow suit when she arrived at the NBC studios.

She stopped at the Today show to talk about her role in the upcoming limited series Fleishman Is In Trouble, which debuts on Hulu November 17.

“It’s based on the novel of the same name and…if you like the book, it’s such a real adaptation, I think you’ll love this,” she said.

The Emmy nominee wore her hair in natural curls and kept her makeup friendly during the day, accenting it with a bold red lip. She wore animal print ankle boots and dark sunglasses to complete the look.

Lizzy seemed far removed from her Fleishman character Libby Epstein, who she described as “struggling with suburban life. It’s not what she was supposed to do. She had a job as a writer at a magazine and she quit her job to move to the suburbs and raise her family and she’s suffocating.”

She told interviewers that if viewers tune in to the eight-episode series, “it will make you laugh and absolutely make you cry — like, ugly cry.”

The versatile actress made the transition from frustrated wife and mother to frustrated lover in the reboot of Fatal Attraction as a limited series on Paramount+ in 2023.

The chameleon-like star will play the other woman Alex, in the role created in 1987 by Emmy winner Glenn Close.

Collider reported that the series will “explore fatal attraction and the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity, through the lens of modern attitudes toward strong women, personality disorders, and compulsive control.”

“I just packed up at 2 a.m. Friday,” Lizzy reported. ‘It was a lot of fun, I must say. ‘

Looking back on her busy year, the versatile actress seemed satisfied.

“Being able to do these two things in a row, totally different characters, it’s a gift. ‘
