Chibuikem Uche On One Of Us Is Lying
Adapted from Karen M. McManus’ 2017 thriller of the same name, One of Us Is Lying follows the mysterious murder of Sam, who was imprisoned but never released. Before his death, Simon Kelleher (Mark McKenna), aka Sam, posted a provocative article on “About That” — promising to expose four anonymous students in the future.
Coincidentally, there were four other students in detention with Sam that day — Cooper Clay (played by Chibuikem Uche), Adelaide “Addy” Prentiss (Annalisa Cochrane), Nate Macauley (Cooper van Grootel), and Bronwyn Rojas (Marian Tejada). Of course, they became prime suspects after his sudden death.
According to show creator Darío Madrona, they made sure to keep the plot of One of Us Is Lying as close to the novel as possible. “We all love the book, so we wanted to stay true to it,” he shared.
However, the show also has “a few twists here and there” that could surprise readers of the book.
As for Chibuikem’s take on the show, he shared that the cast was great and they bonded well. “The first day we met, it was at a diner in North Hollywood. We were supposed to go to lunch, and we were together for nine hours. And from then on, we were like, ‘Okay, I think we can work together,'” Chibuikem shared.
Additionally, he added that because the book was so popular, there was a bit of pressure to portray these characters and act them well.
One of Us Is Lying premiered on the Peacock streaming platform on October 7, 2021, and the final two episodes aired on October 21.
