Amazon Prime Video has ordered a series adaptation of the Michelle Frances novel The Girlfriend with Robin Wright (The Princess Bride, House of Cards) set to star and direct. It has been announced that Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, House of the Dragon), Laurie Davidson (Mary and George), and Waleed Zuaiter (Gangs of London) will also star in the series alongside Wright.
The official description of the series states: “Laura (Wright) wants for nothing. She has a glittering career, a loving husband, Howard (Zuaiter), and, above all, she has Daniel (Davidson), her precious only son. But Laura’s seemingly perfect life is blown apart when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), the girlfriend who changes everything. After an uncomfortable first meeting, Laura grows convinced that Cherry isn’t who she says she is. While no one else can see what she sees, Laura refuses to stand by and watch Daniel be deceived. She’ll do anything to protect him. As things go from bad to deadly, the question is, is Cherry a manipulative social climber? Or is Laura paranoid and possessive? The truth is a matter of perspective.”
Gabbie Asher and Naomi Sheldon serve as writers on the series, with episodes also written by Marek Horn, Ava Wong Davies, Isis Davis, and Helen Kingston. Asher is also an executive producer. Wright serves as an executive producer in addition to starring and directing.
Wright said of the project:
“I’m thrilled to be directing and acting in this wildly delicious psychological thriller filled with plot twists and surprising character turns, and to be working with such talented actors, Olivia and Laurie, and an overall amazing cast & crew…so excited!”
