Prime Video’s “The Girlfriend” is shaping up to be one of fall’s most addictive watches. Starring Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke, this twisty psychological drama—based on Michelle Frances’ novel—dives into the messier sides of love, trust, and family.
“The Girlfriend” Premise
Wright plays Laura, a woman who seems to have it all: a great career, a loving husband, and a devoted son, Daniel. But her world starts to crack when Daniel brings home his new girlfriend, Cherry (Cooke). From their first meeting, Laura feels something’s off. Is Cherry a manipulative social climber, or is Laura’s paranoia getting the best of her?
The series keeps viewers guessing, shifting perspectives so you’re never quite sure whose side you’re on. Wright and Cooke’s tense, layered performances drive the story, while supporting turns from Laurie Davidson, Waleed Zuaiter, and Tanya Moodie add extra intrigue.
Produced by Imaginarium Productions and Amazon MGM Studios, and adapted by Naomi Sheldon and Gabbie Asher, the six-episode series blends suspense, emotional drama, and unexpected twists. Themes of motherhood, trust, and betrayal run deep, making the show both gripping and relatable.
All episodes of “The Girlfriend” drop September 10 on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories. Expect tense standoffs, shocking revelations, and a final question that will leave you second-guessing everything you thought you knew.
