We finally have an official look of Rebecca from The Stolen Girl (previously Playdate based of the novel of Alex Dahl).
First-look images have been revealed for new Disney Plus thriller The Stolen Girl, which stars Denise Gough (Andor), Holliday Grainger (Strike) and Ambika Mod (One Day).
The series, which is based on Alex Dahl’s novel Playdate and was originally going by that title, also stars Jim Sturgess (Hard Sun), Bronagh Waugh (Ridley), and Michael Workeye (My Lady Jane), and has been adapted by Catherine Moulton (Baptiste) and directed by Eva Husson (Mothering Sunday).
The series follows the aftermath of Elisa making a seemingly ordinary decision.
In the thriller, Elisa agrees to let her 9-year-old daughter Luciago on an overnight playdate with her new best friend Josie, after meeting Josie’s mother, Rebecca, played by Grainger.
Elisa is put at ease by Rebecca’s charming nature and her 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 synopsis for the series says: “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 we will wonder if Rebecca was justified in kidnapping the little girl – and whether she might be better off staying hidden.”
A release date has yet to be confirmed, but we do know the series will stream in 2025. The Stolen Girl will stream on Disney Plus in 2025.
