Owen Patrick Cooper was born on December 5, 2009, in Warrington, England. The third son of a nanny mother and an IT father, Owen wanted to be a footballer. However, after seeing Tom Holland's performance in the film “The Impossible,” he decided to pursue acting. A big fan of Tom Holland, Cooper began taking drama lessons. Stephen Graham, co-producer of the murder-themed series, was looking for an unknown British face for this role. Selected from over 500 auditions, Cooper's first project was filmed between July and October 2024. The series, which aired in March 2025, made a splash worldwide. Renowned critic Evening Standard wrote, “This performance is the best debut performance by a child actor to date.” With his series, which aired in early 2025, he won an Emmy Award at the end of 2025, earning him the title of “Youngest Person to Win an Emmy Award in History.” Almost immediately after, Cooper also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, becoming world-famous with two major awards before reaching adulthood. Lacking the high ego often found in his peers, Cooper responded to reporters' questions at the awards ceremony, “What will you do after the ceremony?” with, “I'll go to school after I sleep.” Following Adolescence, Cooper appeared in supporting roles in the Film Club series, Whispering Hills, and Cry to Heaven. He also featured in a music video released in 2025 and has won a total of 11 awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe.

Book One: On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention: Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom alive. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. He died on a Monday. But that Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates. Now, all four of them are suspects in his murder. Are they guilty? Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose? They all have a motive. They all have something to hide. They all have a history with Simon. And one of them is definitely lying. Book 2: A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one’s been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. Until now. This time it’s not an app, though—it’s a game. Truth or Dare. Phoebe‘s the first target. If you choose not to play, it’s a truth. And hers is dark. Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare. But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it’s that they can’t count on the police for help. Or protection. Simon’s gone, but someone’s determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there’s a whole new set of rules. Book 3: It’s been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren’t killers. Then a new generation outwitted a vengeful copycat. Now the entire Bayview Crew is back home for the summer, and everyone is trying to move on. Only, this is Bayview, and life is never that simple. At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the Bayview Crew disappears, it’s clear this “game” is serious—and whoever’s in charge isn’t sharing the rules. Or maybe there aren’t any. Bronwyn. Cooper. Addy. Nate. Maeve. Phoebe. Knox. Luis. Kris. Everyone’s a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things could start getting deadly. The thing is, Simon was right about secrets—they all come out eventually. And Bayview has a lot it’s still hiding.
