Prime Video has dropped the full trailer for the streaming service's forthcoming psychological thriller, "The Girlfriend," and it has me wanting to binge every episode of this twisted series all the more.

The first teaser dropped in July, giving us a taste of the delicate balance of power between devoted mother Laura (Robin Wright) and her son's new flame, Cherry ("House of the Dragon's" Olivia Cooke).

But here, we have way more manipulative behaviour, more mind games, more power plays, and it's sure shaping up to be a juicy, dark drama. Check it out below:

From everything we've seen so far, "The Girlfriend" sure looks to be a devilishly entertaining watch. There's an abundance of tension in the air and plenty of underhanded maneuvers from both sides of this conflict.

And with Cherry asking, "Have you forgotten what she did to me?" and her mother warning that Laura had "better not interfere" with her relationship, I can only wonder at what else is in store when the series arrives.

Intrigued? "The Girlfriend" starts streaming exclusively on Prime Video from Wednesday, September 10, 2025. All six episodes will be available at launch too, so if the show proves to be as compelling as it looks, we'll be able to race through it from the off.

Prime Video has already released a full synopsis for the forthcoming show. It reads: "Based on Michelle Frances' novel of the same name, "The Girlfriend" follows Laura (Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel. Her perfect life begins to unravel when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), 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."

In addition to Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke, "The Girlfriend" also stars Laurie Davidson, Waleed Zuaiter, Tanya Moodie, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Karen Henthorn, Anna Chancellor, Leo Suter, and Francesca Corney.
