The unimaginable becomes a heartbreaking reality forDenise Gough(Andor) andJim Sturgess(Across the Universe) in Collider’s exclusive first look at the trailer forThe Stolen Girl. The Hulu and Freeform series is set for a release on April 16 and will follow the devastating story of one family’s personal hell after their daughter goes missing. The five-episode series, which also features performances fromHolliday Grainger(Strike),Bronagh Waugh(The Suspect),Michael Workéyè(My Lady Jane) andAmbika Mod(One Day), serves as an adaptation ofAlex Dahl’s best-selling crime novel,Playdate.
The beginning of our exclusive debut look at the teaser for theFreeformandHuluproduction reveals every parent’s worst nightmare, when Elisa (Gough) and her husband (Sturgess) go to pick up their daughter following a sleepover playdate at the home of her friend. Upon their arrival, the couple are greeted by the housekeeper, who is obviously confused by their query. Forced to break some upsetting news, the woman tells the strangers that no one lives in the home that she’s working at, and the scene abruptly cuts to Elisa addressing the press in hopes that someone out there will help her find her child.
In a twist to your typical whodunnit case, Elisa and her husband know precisely who’s responsible for kidnapping their daughter, as it’s revealed that the mother of the daughter’s friend absconded with both children. As they launch their plea to the public for any possible help, we see images of the missing girl, Lucia, scared and disoriented in the presence of her captor. Enlisting the help of just about anyone who will listen, the distraught married couple team up with a mix of law enforcement officers, journalists, and other people with know-how in hopes of bringing their beloved child home safely.
