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

We Were Liars star gets candid about most difficult scene to shoot and it's not what you think
We Were Liars proved to be one of the most emotionally draining dramas of the year so far thanks to that final episode. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from We Were Liars. A We Were Liars star has opened up about which scene she had to take 'one for the team' during filming. Based on author E Lockhart's novel of the same name, Prime Video 's We Were Liars revolves around the lavish lifestyle of the Sinclair family who spend their summers on a private island. But one horrific incident leaves Cadence Sinclair (played by Emily Alyn Lind) with memory loss and no one willing to give her answers as to what happened to her last summer. TikTok users went into meltdown by the finale as it was revealed that Cadence's cousins and love interest Gat Patil (Shubham Maheshwari) had died in a fire that they started, leaving her traumatised. This may have been the most memorable moment of the Prime Video drama but Penny Sinclair star Caitlin Fitzgerald has another scene in mind when it comes to what was the most difficult to film. Opening up to Screen Time, Fitzgerald shared that it was actually a very low key scene which left her feeling 'sick' that proved the most challenging. 'I was really excited about the scene where I eat a lemon meringue pie, it was a fantasy really," she laughed. 'And by take four, I was like 'I'm really sick', so it turns out, this is a public service announcement, as I've sacrificed for everyone, and learned there is a limited number of lemon meringue pies which you can eat, it is too much. 'I think I ate like eight and was like 'oh'. I took one for the team on that one. 'I had to really go for it every time, I'm that committed to my craft.' As of yet, there has been no official confirmation if We Were Liars is going to return for a second season. There has been talk of work going on behind the scenes for another series which would be based on the prequel book Family of Liars, focussing on the three sisters, including Fitzgerald's Penny. When asked what fans could expect if the franchise was to return, Fitzgerald commented: 'More of the same, a further look into this highly dysfunctional family and peeling back another layer of the onion of why they are the way they are. 'More fun on Beechwood, more mysteries and a lot more of the sisters, for better or worse.'

Superdrug shoppers say £6 perfume smells 'exactly like' Tom Ford's £290 version
Superdrug's Cherry Noir is said to be just likeTom Ford's Lost Cherry, which costs £290 for a 50ml bottle. The high street version is a fraction of the price and is said to last all day Superdrug customers are raving about a fragrance that they insist smells 'identical to' a Tom Ford scent. Tom Ford's Lost Cherry retails for £290 for a 50ml bottle, whilst Cherry Noir costs has dropped to £6 and is reported to 'last all day'. Cherry Noir doesn't reveal the breakdown of its fragrance notes online, but features cherry, amber, sandalwood, vanilla, musk and coconut. It's lacking the bitter almond, plum and cinnamon present in Lost Cherry. SWAP WITH NEXT LINE In one of the product images, it boldly states 'af Ford able alternative, get Lost in the Cherry ', making the inspiration crystal clear, reports the Manchester Evening News. 63p-a-day supplement for menopausal women that helps them 'feel like their old selves' Next is selling beauty box with £90 worth of makeup, skincare and more for £20 It's earned an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 on Superdrug. One customer raved: "Amazing! I have had Tom Ford's Lost Cherry, I've had more expensive [alternatives] to Lost Cherry...I came across this and it smells exactly like it! A tiny fraction of the hundreds of pounds you would pay for Tom Ford and a smell that lasts all day, even through a 14hr shift at work. I'm amazed and I'll be buying this over and over again!". Another said: "This is supposed to be an [alternative] for Tom ford lost cherry however I have never smelt that before so can't compare. However I absolutely love this scent, it's definitely got notes of cherry which is a scent I already adore but it's also long lasting which is fantastic as some perfumes only last a couple of hours. It's a decent size bottle for the price too, I am very impressed with this perfume and look forward to trying more of this range." One shopper was let down by a 'medicinal' quality, penning: "Cherry Noir definitely smells very similar to the Lost Cherry fragrance, especially once the perfume has settled on the skin. However, the opening notes of Cherry Noir smell very synthetic and almost medicinal, which initially put me off the scent. Cherry Noir comes in the standard white bottle that all Artiscent fragrances use. The bottle is 50ml, so it's convenient to take along during daily activities or travel. In terms of lasting power, this stayed on my skin for around 6 hours. I wore it to work and could still faintly smell it at the end of the day." Meanwhile another commented: "Perfume for the spring. The freshness of juicy cherries smells sweet and mysterious. Amber and Sandalwood gives a lovely warmth to the scent. It lingers for a long time on the skin and even longer on my clothes. it's a great choice for everyday, This is affordable yet screams luxury from the bottles minimalistic design to the scent." The 'premium' fragrance isn't the sole product at Superdrug drawing comparisons to a high-end alternative. The 100ml £3.50 Fruity Mist Caramel and Pistachio is being likened to Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 62 - customers even reckon it's superior. One wrote: "Before trying this mist, I was worried that it would be too sweet, but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of freshness it gives. Save your money on Sol de Janeiro and buy this, you won't regret." A generous 120g tub of B. Melting Cleansing Balm is a fragrance-free and sensitive skin-friendly way to remove makeup. One customer commented: "Lovely product, skin texture is noticeably softer and smoother directly after use...I would prefer if it had a subtle natural spa smell but then guess that'd make it Elemis and potentially irritable - maybe make 2 versions?" The Elemis balm in question sells for £49 for a 100g tub. There's also Optimum Collagen Day Cream, priced at £15 or £7.50 for members, which has similarly been compared to Elemis with the brand's Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (£95 for 50ml).
