About the Show

Inspired by journalist Stephanie Wood’s bestselling memoir, Fake delves into the unsettling world of romance scams, exploring themes of love, deception, and self-discovery. The eight-part series stars Gold Logie Award-winner Asher Keddie (Offspring, Love My Way) as Birdie Bell, a successful magazine writer who becomes entangled in a complex relationship with the enigmatic Joe Burt, portrayed by acclaimed actor David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings, Top of the Lake).

Convinced by her well-meaning friends and family that this could be her very own happily ever after, Birdie begins to believe that it is finally her chance to live the fairytale. As cracks start to form in Joe's stories, Birdie soon discovers her boyfriend isn't all he has led her to believe.

Fake Starts After MasterChef Australia on Sunday, 25 May On 10 And 10 Play. Stream Every Episode Of Fake On Paramount+.
