OFFICIAL TRAILER RELEASED FOR DISNEY+ THRILLER ‘THE STOLEN GIRL’

Disney+ has today unveiled the full-length trailer for the upcoming UK Original series, “The Stolen Girl” produced by Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios) with Brightstar. The five-part psychological drama launches exclusively on 16th April 2025 on Disney+ worldwide. In the U.S., Freeform will roll out episodes weekly at 10:00 PM ET beginning 16th April 2025, and episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.

The gripping trailer takes us to the heart of suburbia where life is not quite as tranquil as it first seems. When Elisa (Denise Gough) and Fred Blix’s (Jim Sturgess) daughter, Lucia (Beatrice Cohen), goes missing after what appears to be a normal sleepover with a school friend, the couple’s mundane existence spirals into chaos. Elisa is forced to embark on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase across Europe to discover the shocking truth about her daughter’s disappearance. Exactly why did the enigmatic Rebecca Walsh (Holliday Grainger) take her daughter? Was Lucia a random target? What personal price will she have to pay to get her back? As Elisa starts to fit the pieces together, chaotically persistent journalist Selma Desai (Ambika Mod) reports live, relentlessly ripping apart her family life at every turn. Slowly the unsettling truth emerges - Rebecca didn’t want any child; she wanted Lucia – and what started as a textbook abduction is quickly evolving into something much darker…

Further imagery revealed today introduces DI Shona Sinclair (Bronagh Waugh) and DS Lizzie Walker (Layo-Christina Akinlude), the lead investigators looking into Lucia’s disappearance. We also meet Kaleb Negasi (Michael Workéyè), Selma’s exasperated editor, who wishes she would focus on anything other than this case.

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