Netflix’s The House Across the Lake is based on the 2022 bestselling Riley Sager novel of the same name.
Here’s the synopsis for The House Across the Lake, courtesy of GoodReads:
In The House Across the Lake, Casey Fletcher is a recently widowed actress trying to escape a streak of bad press. She retreats to the peace and quiet of her family’s lake house in Vermont. Armed with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of bourbon, she passes the time watching Tom and Katherine Royce, the glamorous couple living in the house across the lake. They make for good viewing — a tech innovator, Tom is rich, and a former model, Katherine is gorgeous.
One day on the lake, Casey saves Katherine from drowning, and the two strike up a budding friendship. The more they get to know each other — and the longer Casey watches — it becomes clear that Katherine and Tom’s marriage isn’t as perfect as it appears. When Katherine suddenly vanishes, Casey becomes consumed with finding out what happened to her. In the process, she uncovers eerie, darker truths that turn a tale of voyeurism and suspicion into a story of guilt, obsession and how looks can be very deceiving.
Who is cast in The House Across the Lake?

It’s also worth noting that Paul Feig is currently busy with Amazon’s Grand Death Lotto, so he won’t be able to work on this film until he wraps his current project.
What’s the Netflix release date for The House Across the Lake?
