Netflix releases trailer for “All the Truth in My Lies,” a five-episode limited series arriving August 28

Netflix on Monday unveiled the trailer for “All the Truth in My Lies,” a new five-episode limited series that will premiere globally on Netflix on August 28. The announcement comes from the company’s official Newsroom, where it highlighted the show’s adaptation pedigree and the date of the global rollout.

The series is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Elisabet Benavent, a Spanish author known for popular romance and contemporary fiction titles including “Valeria,” “A Perfect Story,” and “Sounds Like Love.” Netflix did not describe specific plot elements in its announcement, but it framed the adaptation as drawing from the novel’s established audience and narrative style.

In Netflix’s preview materials, the program is positioned as a limited series, meaning the story is designed for a defined arc rather than an open-ended season format. The company also indicated the show will be released in a five-episode package, aligning with Netflix’s common approach to bingeable, self-contained drama runs.

Netflix’s global premiere timing matters to how the company schedules viewing and marketing. By setting a single worldwide launch date, Netflix can coordinate promotional activity across regions and avoid staggered release windows that can complicate audience engagement.

More broadly, “All the Truth in My Lies” fits into the streamer’s ongoing investment in scripted Spanish-language and international drama. Benavent’s work has been adapted before and is strongly associated with relationship-focused storytelling, a genre that Netflix has repeatedly cultivated because it encourages repeat viewing and social sharing.

Limited series also remain a key part of Netflix’s content strategy. A compact episode count reduces uncertainty around production and allows Netflix to test audience response without committing to a long season run from the outset, particularly when the series is built on a proven book IP.

Netflix’s announcement did not provide details on the show’s cast, episode runtime, production timeline, or whether the title is being produced in Spanish or dubbed and subtitled for its global rollout. It also did not say how the adaptation will handle the novel’s characters and themes beyond confirming the literary source and the episode count.

For viewers, the immediate next step is Netflix’s full release on August 28. For the business, what to watch will be how Netflix positions the title in its broader calendar and whether the company pairs the launch with additional marketing, cast promotions, or related announcements in the weeks leading up to the premiere.
