Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story is finally making its way to AMC+, and true crime junkies won't have to wait long to watch it.

Release date: When Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story lands on AMC+
Unlike many streaming shows that drop all episodes at once, this series follows a weekly release schedule.
The first two episodes will be available on release day, giving the audience a really strong introduction to Chloe's disturbing journey. From there, one new episode will be released every Thursday until the finale.
This six-part series is based on real events that involve a British model named Chloe Ayling, played by Nadia Parkes. The story begins with a seemingly ordinary photo shoot in Milan, only to take a terrifying turn when Chloe is suddenly kidnapped.
Each episode not only traces the days she spent being kidnapped, but the show also looks at the rush of doubt and mistrust she faced after she managed to escape.
With its weekly release of episodes, AMC+ plans to keep the suspense alive, allowing the audience to digest every detail of Chloe's kidnapping before moving on to the next episode.
Streaming details: How to watch Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story
For U.S. audiences, AMC+ is the exclusive streaming platform for Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story. The platform will release two episodes on August 28, after which new episodes will continue to stream weekly on Thursdays.
The series comes from writer and executive producer Georgia Lester, known for her work on Killing Eve. Directed by Al Mackay, the show doesn't just dramatize Chloe's kidnapping but also the aftermath of the events, when she was accused of planning the kidnapping for a publicity stunt.
This perspective, with her survival in captivity and her struggle to reclaim her story, makes the show more than just another true crime drama.
For fans who prefer a nonfiction account of the story, AMC+ will also release a companion docuseries titled Chloe Ayling: My Unbelievable Kidnapping on September 25.
This three-part special offers Ayling's own account of the events, marking her first documentary interview since her kidnapper's conviction.
What else to know about Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story
Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story stands out because it doesn't let go of actually exploring how the public's perception of Chloe's experience changed after her escape.
At just 20 years old, Ayling returned home, expecting sympathy, but instead, she faced a barrage of suspicion, disbelief, and, worst of all, media frenzy.
The episodes explore her kidnapping, attempts to survive, and her miraculous escape. But it's the blame for faking the experience that adds another layer to the crime.
By focusing on both the kidnapping as well as the backlash from the media, the series brings on a bigger narrative that deals with trauma, survival, and mistrust.
With a production team led by BBC Studios' River Pictures, the show promises both authenticity and intensity. The audience can expect a story that is as much about fighting as it is about fear.
