While no official trailer for Betrayal: The Perfect Husband has been released as of yet by Hulu, the podcast upon which it is based has revealed numerous topics that it will be encapsulating. The series will spotlight the impact of the horrific event on Jennifer Faison, who had been unaware of her husband's acts at his place of work for the entirety of their seven-year marriage.

Not only will the show see Faison narrate the events as they unfolded when the truth about her husband came out but it will also provide a deeper insight into the psyche of an individual. Faison will open up about her condition during the trials of the case since she was faced with numerous shocking truths about her husband's numerous s*xual assault cases and his affairs with coworkers, friends, and neighbors, all of whom he had gaslighted over the years.

In addition, Faison will converse with the various victims of the case and will uncover hidden facts about the man she once loved. These interviews will bring to light new information about the case that might not have been known to the public, giving an update on how these women have since moved past this event and their views on the case years later. The series will also go into the details of how Herron was eventually caught through the smartness of one of his potential victims.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Betrayal: The Perfect Husband is that it will also feature some archival audio recordings of Faison confronting Herron about his crimes. Moreover, it will show how he defended himself and tried to gaslight her into believing that he's in the right, a trick that he is known to use to with his other victims and mistresses.
