Kevin Bacon explained to Tudum that his character Peter wasn’t just using Simone to get back at Kiki. “He’s not using her. He definitely falls in love with her, and he is definitely angry at Kiki for denying him access to his children for all his years. Those are real things.”

Kevin Bacon also stars in Molly Smith Metzler's five-part limited series about a pair of troubled sisters and the couple of affluent benefactors who may be harboring dark secrets.

That facade draws on the pleasures of shows like Big Little Lies and The White Lotus: great actors — Julianne Moore! Meghann Fahy! Milly Alcock! — facing off against a backdrop of picturesque mansions and beaches.
