After a tense first meeting, Laura begins to suspect Cherry is hiding something. Is she a cunning, manipulative social climber trying to get her son under her spell? Or is Laura seeing ghosts out of concern and jealousy? The series intriguingly explores how truth depends on perspective, forcing viewers to balance between empathy and distrust.
In addition to Wright, Cooke, and Laurie Davidson as Daniel, the cast includes Waleed Zuaiter (Howard), Tayna Moodie (Isabella), Shalom Brune-Franklin (Brigitte), Karen Henthorn (Tracey), Anna Chancellor (Lilith), Leo Suter (Nicholas), and Francesca Corney (Millie).
With its combination of psychological tension, mother-son dynamics, and a sharp societal edge, The Girlfriend promises to be a compelling and multifaceted series for fans of thrillers like The Undoing and Behind Her Eyes.
The series, based on Michelle Frances's best-selling novel of the same name, will be available worldwide exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories starting Thursday, September 10. All six episodes will be released simultaneously.
