Get ready for some serious thrills! Michelle Frances's gripping book, The Girlfriend, is hitting your screens this September, and it looks like it's going to be a wild ride.
This psychological thriller stars the incredible Robin Wright (House of Cards) and Olivia Cooke (House of the Dragon). Robin plays Laura Wright, a woman who seems to have it all – a great family, a successful career, the works. But everything changes when her son Daniel introduces her to his new girlfriend, Cherry. Laura starts to get a creeping suspicion that Cherry's hiding something big, something she might even be using against Daniel. And from there, well, let's just say things take a dark and deadly turn. (Perfect family falling apart, and a matriarch stuck in the middle...The Perfect Couple is that you?) Here's what to know about the book-to-screen adaptation!

Prime Video
According to Andrea Harkin, one of the directors, the synopsis reads: "Laura wants for nothing. She has a glittering career, a loving husband, and above all, she has Daniel, her precious only son. But Laura’s seemingly perfect life is blown apart when Daniel brings home Cherry, 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."
