What Happened
The Stolen Girl, a five-part drama based on Alex Dahl’s bestselling novel Playdate, originally aired on Disney+ last April and is now making its UK debut on ITV starting February 25. The series follows the harrowing story of a child, Lucia, who goes missing, and the desperate search by her parents, Elisa and Fred Blix, portrayed by Denise Gough and Jim Sturgess, respectively.
Why It Matters
This series marks a significant transition as it is the first drama to move from Disney+ to ITV prime time, potentially setting a precedent for future collaborations between streaming platforms and traditional broadcasters. The show has already garnered attention for its intense narrative and strong performances, particularly by Denise Gough, who is gaining recognition as a prominent screen star.
What’s Next
The Stolen Girl will air weekly on ITV at 9 PM, with all episodes available on ITVX. As the series unfolds, viewers can expect to see how the characters navigate the emotional turmoil of a missing child and the lengths they will go to uncover the truth.
