'Echoes' Cast and Character Guide: Who's Who in Netflix's Binge-Worthy Thriller Series? (2024)

Settle into your binge-watching comfy clothes and fire up some popcorn, a new Netflix thriller series has arrived. Starring Michelle Monaghan as a pair of twins who have traded identities since childhood, “Echoes” builds a propulsive, twisty mystery.

It’s also got a cast full of recognizable faces alongside new discoveries — and with an overlapping triple-timeline narrative about two twins constantly pretending to be each other, you might need help keeping track of the characters too.

For a complete (and spoiler-free) guide to the cast and characters in Netflix’s “Echoes,” read on.

Michelle Monaghan pulls double duty in “Echoes” as twins Gina and Leni, who have swapped lives and identities (frequently) since childhood. However, when one of them goes missing, both lives quickly begin to unravel as long-hidden secrets and their tangled web of deception threatens to come to the surface.If you need a shorthand for which twin is which throughout the series, Gina is the one who usually has a smoky eye and Leni is the one who usually has a braid — however, you’ll have to rely on Monoghan’s impressive performances to let you know when one is pretending to be the other.

Monaghan has previously appeared in films including “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” “Mission: Impossible III,” “Source Code” and “Gone Baby Gone.” On TV, she previously starred in “Boston Public,” “True Detective,” “The Path” and most recently, Netflix’s 2020 series “Messiah.”
