The Stolen Girl: Release date news, cast details, streaming details and more about Disney's upcoming drama series adaptation

Based on Alex Dahl’s novel Playdate, the five-part adaptation, titled, The Stolen Girl is all set to premiere on April 16, 2025.

Starring the likes of Denise Gough, Holliday Grainger, and Jim Sturgess, the series follows the struggles of a mother when she realizes that her child has been kidnapped.

Talking about the plot, Gough mentioned in an interview with Stylist,

“I hope it is a gripping ride for [the audience] and I hope they leave each episode wanting more. I’d like their loyalties to be switching constantly. I don’t want them to know whose side to be on at any stage!”

Grainger added,

“On the surface, it’s ostensibly a thriller, but each character comes from a place of some kind of trauma… The Stolen Girl is about the strength and passion of motherhood and protecting your own and the emotional fallout when you’re unable to do that. It’s a whodunit and how-dunit and whydunit thriller, but there’s so much trauma and pain on all levels that no one really wins.”
