The Girlfriend
There are two sides to every story.
Created by Naomi Sheldon, Gabbie Asher
On Prime Video
A taut psychological thriller built on unreliable perspective and family suspicion, where the central question—who is telling the truth?—resists easy resolution.
Laura has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel. But her perfect life unravels when Daniel brings home Cherry, 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.
