Girl Taken (2026)

Follow 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.

Based on a Bestseller: Girl Taken is adapted from Hollie Overton's novel, Baby Doll, which was a Sunday Times bestseller. While the story is fictional, Overton drew on elements of her own life experiences to shape the emotional core of the book.
Filmed in Spain, Set in England: Although the series is set in a quiet, rural English town, filming actually took place in the beautiful coastal city of San Sebastián, Spain. Some viewers noticed the Spanish architecture and weather, finding it unconvincing as a stand-in for Northern England.
Real-Life Twins Cast as Twins: Tallulah Evans and Delphi Evans, who are sisters in real life, play the roles of twins Lily and Abby Riser in the show. This casting choice adds an extra layer of authenticity to their on-screen relationship.
Alfie Allen's Unsettling Role: Alfie Allen, known for his role in Game of Thrones, delivers what many are calling his most unsettling performance yet as Rick Hansen, the groomer and abductor. Allen's portrayal adds a chillingly realistic dimension to the character.
A Different Ending from the Book: While the series closely follows the events of Baby Doll, there are some key differences. For example, in the book, Lily's baby, Sky, remains with her during her captivity and escapes with her at age six, whereas in the series, Lily's baby is secretly given to Rick's wife, Zoe, to raise.
