The Girlfriend trailer unveils Olivia Cooke in eerie role for steamy thriller

The new psychological drama series is based on Michelle Frances' novel of the same name.

Prime Video has just unveiled the full trailer and first look images of House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke and Forrest Gump's Robin Wright in The Girlfriend.

The eerie six-episode thriller follows Laura (played by Robin Wright), who has a successful career, a loving husband and a son she dotes on.

Her perfect life falls apart her when son Daniel (Laurie Davidson) introduces her to his new girlfriend, Cherry (Olivia Cooke).

From the outset, Laura can feel something is off with Cherry - but is it really mother's intuition or simply Laura not wanting to share her precious son?

Laura becomes convinced Cherry is hiding something and develops an unhealthy obsession that will ruin multiple lives.

The series, which will air on Prime Video on September 10, also stars Waleed Zuaiter as Howard, Tanya Moodie as Isabella, Shalom Brune-Franklin as Brigitte, Karen Henthorn as Tracey, Anna Chancellor as Lilith, Leo Suter as Nicholas, and Francesca Corney as Millie.

The trailer opens with a steamy scene of Cherry and Daniel sharing an intimate moment, before Cherry is introduced to his family.

Laura says: "My son always had girlfriends, but I have never heard him speak about anyone like this."

When Cherry and Laura first lay eyes on one another, there is instant tension, with Laura claiming "jury's out" on whether she approves.

The synopsis adds: "Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective."

Cherry's mum warns her of the dangers of loving someone who comes from money, saying: "I'd be careful if I were you."

But appears Cherry could be the real threat as she goes on to say: "He doesn't even know who you are."

As Cherry dangles Daniel in front of Laura, rubbing in the fact Daniel's loyalties have changed, Laura declares she does not trust Daniel's mysterious new girlfriend.

Viewers will have to tune in to the already highly anticipated series to find out who Cherry really is.

The Girlfriend airs on Prime Video on September 10
