Disney+ has set an April premiere date for the upcoming UK Original psychological thriller, ‘The Stolen Girl‘ produced by Quay Street Productions with Brightstar, starring Denise?Gough,?Holliday Grainger, Ambika?Mod, and more.
Based on Alex Dahl’s best-selling novel “Playdate”, the five-part psychological limited series tells the story of fascinating, relatable and complex women in an unimaginable situation.
A seemingly ordinary decision turns the world of Elisa, mum to two young kids, upside down in this tense thriller. When her 9-year-old daughter Lucia excitedly asks to go on an overnight playdate with her new best friend Josie, Elisa agrees. After meeting Josie’s mother, Rebecca, she’s put at ease by her charming nature and their impressive house. But when she says goodnight to her daughter, she has no idea that she is about to be thrust into every parent’s worst nightmare.
The next day, when Elisa goes to pick up Lucia, she discovers that the beautiful house was a holiday rental. Lucia is missing. Rebecca and Josie have vanished. What started out as her daughter’s first sleepover has turned into an abduction.
As an urgent manhunt unfolds across Europe, Elisa and her husband Fred find themselves the object of police and public scrutiny. Elisa’s perfect family begins to unravel under the pressure, and long-buried secrets come to light. Rebecca took Lucia for a reason. And as viewers learn more about the tangled lives of these women, the question of whether Rebecca was justified in kidnapping the little girl arises – and if she might be better off staying hidden.
Starring Denise?Gough (“Andor”), Holliday Grainger?(“Strike”), Ambika?Mod (“One Day”), ?Jim?Sturgess (“Cloud Atlas”), Bronagh Waugh (“The Suspect”), and Michael Workeye (“My Lady Jane”), the series is adapted by Catherine Moulton (“Baptiste”) from best-selling novel by Alex Dahl’s (“Playdate”) and is directed by Eva Husson (“Mothering Sunday”).
