Psychological thriller The Stolen Girl had Disney+ (https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb) users captivated in 2025, and now, thanks to Disney+'s partnership with ITV, the popular drama is arriving on ITV next Wed

Starring Denise Gough and Jim Sturgess as Mrs and Mr Blix, the couple live out every parent's worst nightmare when their nine-year-old daughter is kidnapped after a sleepover, leading to some secrets from the past to come to light.

What is The Stolen Girl about?
The Stolen Girl is a physiological thriller adapted for TV from Alex Dahl's 2020 novel Playdate.

The official synopsis says: 'Elisa Blix, an air hostess on private jets and busy mum of two, allows her nine-year-old daughter, Lucia, to go on a playdate with her new best friend Josephine.

Elisa briefly meets with Josephine’s warm and friendly mother, Rebecca, and the playdate evolves into a sleepover.

But when Elisa and her husband Fred arrive to collect Lucia the next day, their worst fears are realised.

'The house is an empty luxury rental and Lucia has vanished, along with Rebecca and Josephine.

The police say everything Rebecca told Elisa may have been lies.

As events escalate into an international manhunt for Lucia, pursued doggedly by Selma, an ambitious and determined investigative journalist following the story, long-buried secrets come to light that may hold the key to Lucia’s seemingly motiveless abduction.'

The Stolen Girl is made up of a strong cast, including The Capture's (http://hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hits-radio-70s//entertainment/television/the-capture/) Holliday Grainger, Who Is Erin Carter? (http://hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hits-radio-70s//entertainment/television/who-is-erin-carter/) actress Denise Gough, and One Day's (http://hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hits-radio-70s//entertainment/television/one-day/) Ambika Mod.
Check out the main cast below:
Denise Gough as Elisa Blix
Holliday Grainger as Rebecca/Nina Thibault
Ambika Mod as Selma Desai
Jim Sturgess as Fred Blix
Bronagh Waugh as DI Shona Sinclair
Michael Workeye as Kaleb Negasi

Watched the first episode. I’d forgotten to record and not available on sky to download, so have watched on Disney. As I’m still unwell, I may end up binging the lot. I’ll decide tomorrow, after I’ve watched tonight’s episode.

I quite enjoyed it. However the first meet of new mum and you let your dd stay the night??? MN must have been in meltdown.

Well excatly. Some stress over a sleep over with a friend their child had been to school with for years

this would never happen

I just read through the thread to help me decide whether to look at this. I think I'll give it a swerve!

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/03/2026 22:20

Oh don’t not watch @moto748e

its Good

just the mum was a bit stupid to let her daughter go and stay the night with a total stranger

I'm liking this , not many people seem to be watching it.

Lucia's mum's history is shrouded in mystery, nobody seems to know anything about it . I thought at one point that Lucia could be Rebecca's daughter but then her actual daughter is about the same age so having another think !

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/03/2026 16:21

That’s too close to its her fault

I saw you mentioned that earlier . Is that one of the tv dramas we've seen ? I don't remember the title 🤔

Figgygal · 05/03/2026 19:18

Oh god I watched that last year it was bloody terrible
Holliday Grainger was the only good thing about it

Ah, didnt see it as don't have Atlantic .

NewAgeNewMe · 06/03/2026 20:25

I’m not sure about this. I’ll watch but in a half hearted way. The mother I noticed didn’t have online presence before marriage, so she could be reason, rather than husband? I like the police woman.

Have watched stolen girl already on ITVX this lunchtime. Currently watching tonight’s Marlow murders so I can watch Ellis at 9pm! WoS have already seen the lot. 😅

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/03/2026 15:50

Yes as this is on ITVX i watched earlier

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/03/2026 22:23

Wow the plot thickens

so elisa ran over the husband and killed him. But Marcus her lover took the blame as having an affair and sh was preg and youngest /boy is his kid

assuming Fred doesn’t know that he’s isn’t his

so she stole Lucia for revenge for her killing her husband and assume other twin
