Paramount+ has released an intense trailer for the psychological drama Girl Taken, starring Alfie Allen, which will premiere in January.
New Thriller “Girl Taken” Coming in January
Paramount+ has released a scary new trailer for its upcoming show, “Girl Taken.” The series will start on January 8, 2026. It tells the story of Rick Hansen, played by Alfie Allen (known for Game of Thrones).
Rick is a popular local teacher, but he has a dark secret: he has kidnapped a teenage girl.
The trailer shows his double life—he pretends to help search for the missing girl in public, but in private, he keeps her locked up in chains.
A Great Cast for a Tough Story
The show is based on a popular book by Hollie Overton. Jill Halfpenny plays Eve, the mother who is desperately trying to find her daughter.
Tallulah Evans plays Lily, the girl who was taken, and her real-life sister Delphi plays Lily’s twin sister.
The trailer shows the emotional pain of the mother and the cold, scary behavior of the teacher. It is a very different role for Alfie Allen, and fans are excited to see him play such a complex villain.
What Happens After She Escapes?
Most kidnapping stories end when the person is found, but “Girl Taken” is different. It also shows what happens after Lily escapes.
It explores how hard it is for a person to return to normal life and recover from such a scary experience.
The story takes place in a quiet English town, showing that danger can sometimes hide behind the doors of people we think we can trust.
Who Made the Show?
A team of experienced writers and directors created this six-part series. It was filmed specifically for the streaming service Paramount+.
If you live in a country that doesn’t have Paramount+, don’t worry—the show will be sold to other international channels so everyone can watch it.
If you like psychological thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat, this is a show to watch this January.
