Freeform has set an April 16, 2025 U.S. premiere date for The Stolen Girl, based on Alex Dahl’s bestselling 2020 novel Playdate. New episodes of the five-episode drama will air on Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT.
The series stars Denise Gough (Andor) as Elisa Blix, Jim Sturgess (Apartment 7A) as Fred Blix, and Holliday Grainger (Strike) as Rebecca Walsh.

Freeform offers this description of the thriller: “A seemingly ordinary decision turns the world of Elisa, mum to two young kids, upside down in this tense thriller. When her 9-year-old daughter Lucia excitedly asks to go on an overnight playdate with her new best friend Josie, Elisa agrees. After meeting Josie’s mother, Rebecca, she’s put at ease by her charming nature and their impressive house. But when she says goodnight to her daughter, she has no idea that she is about to be thrust into every parent’s worst nightmare.”
And episode one’s synopsis: “Elisa is late to pick up her daughter Lucia from school when Rebecca, the mother of Lucia’s new friend, suggests a sleepover for the girls. When she goes to pick Lucia up the next morning, she discovers Lucia’s missing.”
Catherine Moulton (Baptiste) adapted the series, and Eva Husson (Mothering Sunday) directs. Executive producers include Moulton, Husson, author Alex Dahl, Nicola Shindler, Tanya Seghatchian, Hannah Scott, and John Woodward. The series is produced by Quay Street Productions (part of ITV Studios) with Brightstar.
