If you’re looking for some easy thrills from your next Netflix binge session, Burning Betrayal might be the movie for you. Here’s everyone you need to know in the cast.

Netflix has been treating its adult audiences to plenty of erotic thrillers this year, with the likes of Fake Profile, Fair Play, and Obsession all adding to the streamer’s growing library. The allure of these titles has drawn in significant viewerships, presenting worlds that are more exciting, dangerous, and sexually charged than everyday life. 

Burning Betrayal is the latest addition. Directed by Diego Freitas and adapted from Sue Hecker’s novel O Lado Bom de Ser Traida, the movie hasn’t received the best reviews so far, but plenty of people are still tuning in for the entertainment factor. 

So, here’s everyone you need to know in the cast, including the actors and the characters they play.

Burning Betrayal cast and characters

Before we get into it, here’s the synopsis for Burning Betrayal: “Sometimes your unconscious desires have a way of pointing you to truths hiding in plain sight. When Babi, a successful accountant, learns that her fiancé’s been cheating on her, she’s furious, devastated, and has no choice but to start over: She gets back on her motorcycle, joins a bike club, and dyes her hair dark. 

“Meanwhile, she crosses paths with Marco – or, as she privately nicknames him, ‘the hot judge’ – and suddenly she’s swept into a torrid affair. But is there more to her new paramour than meets the eye? ‘He’s obsessed with the truth, but shrouded in mystery,’ Babi tells her friends cryptically.”

She dyes her hair dark, joins a motorcycle club, and encounters Marco – the man from her dreams. The pair embark on a steamy affair, but as she starts digging up dirt on her ex, she is plunged into a dangerous rabbit hole.
