Disney+ Sets Launch for The Stolen Girl

Disney+ has slated an April launch for the upcoming U.K. original The Stolen Girl, based on the best-selling novel by Alex Dahl.

Produced by Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios) with Brightstar, the five-part psychological drama launches exclusively on April 16 on Disney+ worldwide. In the U.S., Freeform will roll out episodes weekly at 10 p.m. beginning April 16, and episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.

In the thriller, a seemingly ordinary decision turns the world of Elisa, a mom to two young kids, upside down. When her 9-year-old daughter Lucia excitedly asks to go on an overnight playdate with her new best friend Josie, Elisa agrees. After meeting Josie’s mother, Rebecca, she’s put at ease by her charming nature and their 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.

It stars Denise Gough (Andor), Holliday Grainger (Strike), Ambika Mod (One Day), Jim Sturgess (Cloud Atlas), Bronagh Waugh (The Suspect) and Michael Workéyè (My Lady Jane).

The series is adapted by Catherine Moulton (Baptiste) from Dahl’s novel and is directed by Eva Husson (Mothering Sunday).

Nicola Shindler (Fool Me Once, Happy Valley, Missing You, It’s A Sin) executive produces for Quay Street Productions, along with executive producers Tanya Seghatchian and John Woodward for Brightstar (The Power of the Dog, Cold War). Dahl, Husson and Moulton also serve as executive producers with James Dean as producer. Hannah Scott serves as executive producer for Disney+.
