The Girlfriend

2025

Based on Michelle Frances' novel of the same name, The Girlfriend follows Laura (Robin Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel. Her perfect life begins to unravel when Daniel brings home Cherry (Olivia Cooke), a girlfriend who changes everything. After a tense introduction, Laura becomes convinced Cherry is hiding something. Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective.

All episodes of The Girlfriend are available to view on Amazon Prime Video.

“The Girlfriend is a well-kindled tinderbox of a psychological thriller”

“The performances are uniformly excellent. Wright is magnetic, walking a fine line between maternal concern and suffocating possessiveness. Cooke, meanwhile, delivers a star turn: slippery, charismatic, and fascinating”

“Trust me when I say, this isn’t just a family drama about high-society squabbles. This revenge thriller is cutthroat, and it sticks the landing”
