Chloe: Release date, trailer and plot for BBC thriller series
The new drama follows a social media-obsessed woman who goes undercover to solve a suspicious death.
The BBC’s new murder mystery, Chloe, which aired across the last two nights on BBC One, has already captured the imaginations of viewers across the country.
Leading the cast as social media-obsessed Becky Green is The Crown’s Erin Doherty while her childhood best friend Chloe is played by Poppy Gilbert (Stay Close).
When Chloe dies suddenly, Becky suspects foul play and sets out on a mission to investigate by infiltrating Chloe’s social circle in the BBC drama.
But Doherty has warned there’s trouble on the horizon for Becky.
"I think by episode 4, it massively shifts," Doherty told RadioTimes.com. "Every turn is a 180. It kind of feels like being in a maze. Things are just popping out. It feels very invasive in that way, in a really good way. It gets really, really heated because obviously she's just digging and digging and digging and digging. She can't stop."
Pippa Bennett-Warner added: "The hole gets bigger and bigger. And twisted and messier."

Chloe plot: What happens in the BBC drama?
The series tells the story of Bristol-based Becky Green, who takes on a new identity in a bid to uncover the mysterious death of a social media influencer whose seemingly perfect life she had been closely following.
The official plot synopsis provided by the BBC reads: "The thriller follows Becky Green who has been watching Chloe Fairbourne (Poppy Gilbert) via her perfect social media images for some time; Chloe’s charmed life, adoring husband and circle of high-achieving friends are always just a click away.
"Becky can’t resist watching a life that contrasts so starkly with her own; a life spent caring for her mother, who has early-onset dementia, in their small seaside flat on the outskirts of Bristol. When Chloe dies suddenly, Becky assumes a new identity and infiltrates the enviable lives of Chloe's closest friends to find out what happened to her."
