It’s the age old dilemma: who does a son side with more? His lovingly mother or his caring girlfriend? But what if both of the ladies are up to no good?
Based on Michelle Frances’ novel of the same name, The Girlfriend follows Laura (Robin Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson). Her perfect life begins to unravel when Daniel brings home Cherry (Olivia Cooke), a girlfriend who changes everything. After a tense introduction, Laura becomes convinced Cherry is hiding something. Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective.
I started reading The Girlfriend book because I want to be able to fully immerse myself into this world and so far so good. I know this book is going to take me on a wild ride and you know I’m going to have a video breakdown of the biggest changes from book to screen along with a review of the show so be sure to circle back to GGB next month specifically for that content.
All six episodes of The Girlfriend premieres September 10 on Prime Video. Watch the official trailer in the clip below.
