'The Stolen Girl' Will Be Found on Freeform in April
Cable network Freeform is not exactly known as a destination for Anglophile-friendly fare. Formerly ABC Family before it changed its name and embraced buzzier, more teen-focused fare like Pretty Little Liars and The Bold Type, the closest the channel ever came to British programming was ordering a pilot for an American reboot of Misfits. (Thankfully, that never really went anywhere.)
But, Freeform is also owned by Disney, which has been steadily dipping its toe into British programming. (Heck, they even air Doctor Who now.) Most of those series tend to get funneled directly to Hulu, but the forthcoming crime thriller The Stolen Girl has seemingly earned a coveted, if somewhat unconventional broadcast spot. (Before it streams the next day on...you guessed it, Hulu.)
The series follows the story of Elisa, whose nine-year-old daughter Lucia wants to go to a sleepover with her new best friend Josie. After meeting the girl's mother, Rebecca, Elisa agrees, without knowing that she's about to experience every parent's worst nightmare. Because when she returns the next day to pick up Lucia, her daughter's missing. Not just missing — both she and the family she supposedly went to stay with have completely vanished.
