Disney+ hunts for The Stolen Girl
TRAILER: Denise Gough, Holliday Grainger, Ambika Mod and Jim Sturgess star in The Stolen Girl, a five-part psychological drama launching on Disney+ around the world and Freeform in the US on April 16.
When Elisa (Gough) and Fred Blix (Sturgess)’s 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 (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 (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…
Produced by Quay Street Productions with Brightstar, the show also features DI Shona Sinclair (Bronagh Waugh) and DS Lizzie Walker (Layo-Christina Akinlude), the lead investigators looking into Lucia’s disappearance, and Kaleb Negasi (Michael Workéyè), Selma’s exasperated editor, who wishes she would focus on anything other than this case.
Nicola Shindler (Fool Me Once) executive produces for Quay Street Productions with Tanya Seghatchian and John Woodward executive producing for Brightstar (The Power of the Dog). Alex Dahl, Eva Husson and Catherine Moulton are also executive producers with James Dean as producer. Hannah Scott is the executive producer for Disney+.
The series launches on April 16 on Disney+ worldwide. In the US, Freeform will roll out episodes weekly from the same date, and episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
