Game of Thrones‘ Alfie Allen stars in Paramount+’s new thriller Girl Taken, based on Baby Doll by Hollie Overton. The six-episode series, which just released a full trailer, will premiere on January 8, 2026.
The series also stars Jill Halfpenny (The Cuckoo), Tallulah Evans (The Forsyte Saga), and Delphi Evans. The ensemble includes Vikash Bhai (Limbo), Niamh Walsh (Smother), Levi Brown (This Town), Victoria Ekanoye (The Turkish Detective), Holly Atkins (Mobland), and Kiran Krishnakumar (What it Feels Like For a Girl).
Paramount+ released this synopsis: “Girl Taken follows the story of twin sisters Lily and Abby, whose lives are shattered when Lily is abducted from their quiet rural English town by beloved local teacher Rick Hansen (Allen). After years of abuse in captivity, Lily escapes—only to discover that freedom brings its own challenges. The world she longed to return to has moved on without her.
As Abby, Lily, and their mother, Eve (Halfpenny), struggle to rebuild their family, they must confront the lasting damage and the terrifying reality that Rick is still out there, determined to control the narrative and evade justice. Raw and emotionally charged, Girl Taken is a gripping exploration of trauma, resilience, sisterhood, and the high cost of reclaiming one’s life.”
David Turpin, Suzanne Cowie, and Nessah Muthy adapted Hollie Overton’s novel, with Laura Way and Bindu de Stoppani directing. Mick Pantaleo produces, and Mike Benson and Suzi McIntosh serve as executive producers.
