Can a secret destroy everything? The consequences of a life-changing decision are far from predictable in “Echoes.” The Netflix series focuses on twins whose childhood deceptions have never ended. When one sister disappears, the other faces an uncertain future as she tries to keep their lies hidden. “Eden” creator and executive producer Vanessa Gazy constructs a tense mystery thriller that plays on the perfect family facade. In addition to Gazy’s contributions, the series’ announced directors all come from established TV backgrounds.
Michelle Monaghan leads the cast in the dual roles of Leni and Gina. Best known for her standout performances in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, this project represents a chance to show audiences how far her reach goes beyond the standard crowd-pleasing blockbusters. Co-star Matt Bomer comes off his own notable roles in genre favorites such as “Doom Patrol” and “American Horror Stories.” He’s doing double-duty for Netflix with a leading role in the service’s upcoming film “Maestro.” The pair are joined by Daniel Sunjata, Karen Robinson, and Jonathan Tucker.
The series’ official synopsis:
