The five-part drama series comes from executive producer Nicola Shindler (Fool Me Once), director Eva Husson (Mothering Sunday) and writer Catherine Moulton (Hijack), adapting the novel Playdate by Alex Dahl.

Andor star Gough plays mother Elisa, whose young daughter Lucia never returns from a sleepover with a new school friend, turning the lives of herself and her husband into a living nightmare.

Strike's Grainger plays Rebecca, the enigmatic kidnapper, while One Day and This Is Going to Hurt breakout star Mod plays journalist Selma, who is determined to uncover the truth behind the shocking story.

The synopsis, courtesy of Disney+, reads: "Elisa is forced to embark on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase across Europe to discover the shocking truth about her daughter’s disappearance.

"Exactly why did the enigmatic Rebecca Walsh take her daughter? Was Lucia a random target? What personal price will she have to pay to get her back?

"As Elisa starts to fit the pieces together, chaotically persistent journalist Selma Desai reports live, relentlessly ripping apart her family life at every turn.

"Slowly, the unsettling truth emerges – Rebecca didn't want any child; she wanted Lucia – and what started as a textbook abduction is quickly evolving into something much darker."
