Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke star in Prime Video’s new psychological thriller The Girlfriend, based on Michelle Frances’s mystery novel of the same name. The six-episode series is a twisty ride, following Laura Sanderson (Wright), a gallery owner with a seemingly charmed life—a gorgeous London home, a loving husband, a son she adores—that begins to unravel when her son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson), brings home a new girlfriend, Cherry Laine (Cooke).
The Girlfriend frequently alternates between Laura's and Cherry’s perspectives—meaning, the audience gets to see how each one perceives their interactions with the other. Is Cherry a scheming gold-digger, as Laura suspects? Is Laura paranoid and overly protective of her only son? The changing POVs keep you wondering all the way through.
