PARAMOUNT+ RELEASES OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR ORIGINAL SERIES "GIRL TAKEN" LAUNCHING GLOBALLY ON JANUARY 8

Produced by Clapperboard Studios, the Six-Part Series Starring Alfie Allen, Jill Halfpenny, Tallulah and Delphi Evans Will Premiere Exclusively on Paramount+

December 16, 2025 - Paramount+ today unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming original series, GIRL TAKEN, starring Alfie Allen, Jill Halfpenny, Tallulah Evans and Delphi Evans. The six-part psychological thriller will premiere globally and exclusively on Paramount+ on January 8, 2026.

Based on the novel Baby Doll by Hollie Overton, 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. 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 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.

The series will star Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones, Atomic) and Jill Halfpenny (The Cuckoo, After the Flood) as Rick and Eve, while sisters Tallulah (The Forsyte Saga, My Fault: London) and Delphi Evans will take on the roles of Lily and Abby.

Supporting the leading cast will be Vikash Bhai (Limbo, Virdee), Niamh Walsh (Smother, Jamestown), Levi Brown (This Town, Invasion), Victoria Ekanoye (The Turkish Detective, The Royals, Coronation Street), Holly Atkins (MOBLAND, Criminal Justice) and Kiran Krishnakumar (What it Feels Like For a Girl, Everything Now).

Mike Benson and Suzi McIntosh serve as executive producers for Clapperboard, with Mick Pantaleo producing. The series has been adapted for screen by David Turpin (The Ex-Wife, The Cuckoo), Suzanne Cowie (The Serial Killer's Wife, Good Ship Murder) and Nessah Muthy (The Ex-Wife, Grantchester). Laura Way (The Serial Killer's Wife, Maxine) and Bindu de Stoppani (Silent Witness, Beyond Paradise) are the directors.
