Echoes is a mystery thriller heading to Netflix that follows identical twin sisters Leni and Gina Dimitri (Michelle Monaghan) who have secretly swapped lives since they were children.

However, their lives begin to fall apart when one of the twins mysteriously disappears.

Brian Yorkey, who is also one of the masterminds that developed the hit Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, will serve as an executive producer and co-showrunner for Echoes.

He told Deadline: “It’s a privilege and an unmatched thrill to make a television show that reaches around the world on the instant it launches — and an incredible opportunity not only to entertain and surprise, but maybe even say something that matters about the way we live now.”
