The Stolen Girl cast: Denise Gough and Holliday Grainger star
The thriller series is now available to stream on Disney+.
New thriller series The Stolen Girl stars Denise Gough and Jim Sturgess as parents living through a nightmare scenario, when their daughter Lucia is abducted from a playdate.
Behind the abduction is the mysterious Nina, played by Holliday Grainger - a mother herself whose intentions are unclear.
Grainger previously said of the series: "On the surface, it's ostensibly a thriller, but each character comes from a place of some kind of trauma.
"You then see these huge events take place and everyone's lives change irrevocably. Nina and Elisa are such damaged women who have hurt each other so much. The fallout for the whole family and everyone involved is so huge.
"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 why-dunit thriller, but there's so much trauma and pain on all levels that no one really wins."
Also starring in the series are Ambika Mod, Bronagh Waugh and Michael Workeye. But who do they all play and where might you have seen the various cast members before?
