Prime Video drops brand-new teaser for psychological thriller The Girlfriend

Prime Video's The Girlfriend has an unforgivable lie at its center and is a tale of love, greed, and power. The official description of the show reads:

"Laura (Wright) wants for nothing. She has a glittering career, a loving husband, Howard (Zuaiter), and, above all, she has Daniel (Davidson), her precious only son. But Laura’s seemingly perfect life is blown apart when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), the girlfriend who changes everything."

"After an uncomfortable first meeting, Laura grows convinced that Cherry isn’t who she says she is. While no one else can see what she sees, Laura refuses to stand by and watch Daniel be deceived. She’ll do anything to protect him. As things go from bad to deadly, the question is, is Cherry a manipulative social climber? Or is Laura paranoid and possessive? The truth is a matter of perspective…"

The teaser is a perfect encapsulation of the psychological thriller with all of its twists and turns as Laura narrates while Daniel and Cherry share eerily passionate kisses:

"My son, he's always had girlfriends, but I have never heard him speak about anyone like this."

After which, Daniel and Laura are in the frame, sitting in a sauna and sharing a beer, where Daniel confesses his feelings about Cherry to her:

"Mom, this one's different. I actually think you'd like her. She's ambitious, funny, stunning, insanely clever. She's perfect."

While Daniel is convinced that Cherry is the love of his life, Laura grows increasingly convinced that Cherry is hiding a deep lie and she's not who she says she is. Cherry's chilling shots go a long way in establishing Laura's eerie suspicion.

Olivia Cooke, who was last seen in House of the Dragon, plays Cherry, and Laurie Davidson, who was seen in Mary and George, plays Daniel. Robin Wright is playing Laura, and she is also involved in The Girlfriend as the director:

"I’m thrilled to be directing and acting in this wildly delicious psychological thriller filled with plot twists and surprising character turns, and to be working with such talented actors, Olivia and Laurie, and an overall amazing cast & crew…so excited!"

If Frances' book is anything to go by, the series is all set to be an exciting and thrilling ride full of unexpected twists and turns, and most importantly, deceit.

Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, said about The Girlfriend:

"The Girlfriend is a suspenseful family drama about the collapse of a mother and son’s bond, shown through relatable themes of love, greed, and power. This series speaks directly to our Pan-English strategy maintained by Rola Bauer and we’re thrilled to work with Imaginarium and Robin Wright in adapting Michelle Frances’ compelling story for our global Prime Video customers.”

The Girlfriend will be available to stream on Prime Video on September 10.
