Prime Video‘s upcoming psychological thriller series “Chloe” presents an unsettling look at social media and the false realities it creates. A brand new trailer, below, presents a nightmarish tale of false personas, online stalking, and more.
“Chloe” was created, written, and directed by Alice Seabright (“Sex Education”), who also serves as an executive producer. The series stars Erin Doherty (“The Crown”).
The psychological thriller follows “Becky Green (Doherty), who is obsessed with stalking her childhood friend Chloe Fairbourne’s (Poppy Gilbert) perfectly curated social media presence. Chloe’s charmed life, adoring husband, and circle of high-achieving friends are always just a click away, and Becky can’t resist peering into a world that contrasts so starkly with her own, as she cares for her mother, who has early onset dementia. When Chloe suddenly dies, Becky assumes a new identity and infiltrates the enviable lives of Chloe‘s closest friends to find out what happened to her. Through her alter-ego Sasha, Becky becomes a powerful, transgressive heroine; a popular, well-connected “someone” with a life–and loves–that are far more exciting and addictive than the “no-one” she is as Becky. However, the pretense soon obscures and conflates reality, and she discovers Chloe’s real life had not been nearly as perfect as it was portrayed online. As Becky gets deeper into her con, and Chloe’s inner circle, she risks losing herself completely in the game she is playing.”
Billy Howle (“Under the Banner of Heaven”), Pippa Bennett-Warner (“Ganes of London”), Jack Farthing (Spencer), and Brandon Micheal Hall (“Search Party”) also star.
Seabright recently told EW that her series shared similarities to The Talented Mr. Ripley and the Daphne du Maurier novel Rebecca.
The series premiered to critical acclaim in the UK on BBC One and BBC iPlayer earlier this year.
The six-episode series will premiere on June 24 on Prime Video.
