The Girlfriend (2025) | (Amazon Prime Video Miniseries)

‘The Girlfriend’ is a six-part limited series for Amazon Prime Video.

Robin Wright will star in and executive produce the series, while she’s also directing the pilot episode.

‘The Girlfriend’ is based on the novel by Michelle Frances. It’s a psychological thriller about a strange love triangle between a mother (Robin Wright), her son and her son’s new girlfriend (Olivia Cooke).

“I really want to feel the textures of tension between these two women,” Wright says about her approach, which includes using Saltburn as an inspiration. “In another world, my character and Olivia’s would have been BFFs. They’re really wily, strong alpha females, and they’re both in love with the same boy. One who just happens to be my character’s son. It’s twisted. He’s caught in the middle, wondering who to believe.”

The project will start filming in the United Kingdom in April.

Naomi Sheldon serves as the head writer.

Plot: Laura Cavendish (Robin Wright) has it all. A successful TV producer career, a long marriage to a rich husband, and a son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson), who is kind, handsome, and talented.
Then Daniel meets Cherry (Olivia Cooke). Cherry is young, beautiful and smart but she hasn’t had the same opportunities as Daniel. And she wants Laura’s life.
Cherry comes to the family wide-eyed and wants to be welcomed with open arms, but Laura suspects she’s not all that she seems.
When tragedy strikes, an unforgiveable lie is told. It is an act of desperation, but the fall-out will change their lives forever.
