Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke are spitfire rivals in the new trailer for The Girlfriend. Premiering in September on Prime Video, Wright plays a mother who doesn’t trust her son’s new girlfriend, played by House of the Dragon‘s Cooke, and their tension escalates to dangerous extremes.
Here’s everything there is to know about Prime Video’s The Girlfriend.
What is The Girlfriend about?
Based on Michelle Frances’ novel of the same name, The Girlfriend follows Laura (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 (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. Viewers will find some unreliable narration throughout the six-episode thriller.
Is The Girlfriend trailer out?
Yes. In the full trailer above (released on August 13), Wright and Cooke face off and prove that their characters have met their match in each other. Laura is warned about Cherry’s determination to get what she wants. Knives and drowning and screaming are involved. The trailer raises the question of whether both of these women have valid reasons to hate each other, or if there’s only one of them who really can’t be trusted.
There was also a teaser trailer in July. See below.
