Disney+ has released a trailer 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, premiering later this month.
Based on Alex Dahl’s best-selling novel “Playdate”, the five-part psychological limited series takes us to the heart of suburbia where life is not quite as tranquil as it first seems.
When Elisa (Denise Gough) and Fred Blix’s (Jim Sturgess) daughter, Lucia (Beatrice Campbell), goes missing after what appears to be a normal sleepover with a school friend, the couple’s mundane existence spirals into chaos. Elisa is forced to embark on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase across Europe to discover the shocking truth about her daughter’s disappearance. Exactly why did the enigmatic Rebecca Walsh (Holliday Grainger) take her daughter? Was Lucia a random target? What personal price will she have to pay to get her back? As Elisa starts to fit the pieces together, chaotically persistent journalist Selma Desai (Ambika Mod) reports live, relentlessly ripping apart her family life at every turn. Slowly, the unsettling truth emerges – Rebecca didn’t want any child; she wanted Lucia – and what started as a textbook abduction is quickly evolving into something much darker…
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”).
Nicola Shindler (“Fool Me Once”, “Happy Valley”, “Missing You”, “It’s A Sin”) executive produces for Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios), along with executive producers Tanya Seghatchian and John Woodward for Brightstar (“The Power of the Dog”, “Cold War”), and Alex Dahl, Eva Husson and Catherine Moulton also serve as executive producers with James Dean as producer. Hannah Scott serves as executive producer for Disney+.
‘The Stolen Girl‘ premieres exclusively on Wednesday, 16th April 2025 on Disney+ worldwide. In the U.S., Freeform will roll out episodes weekly at 10:00 PM ET beginning 16th April 2025, and episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
