After I first learn the transient synopsis of Prime Video’s The Girlfriend, I knew it was going to be a steamy watch. New on the Amazon streamer in September 2025, the sequence follows the bond of a (frankly, too shut) mom and son that will get disrupted when his new girlfriend arrives on the scene.
Due to the thriller’s twin views in every episode, we have got completely no thought who’s model of the reality is the actual one. Daniel (Laurie Davidson) is left because the piggy in the course of the mess… however not earlier than he reaps the advantages of getting an extremely sizzling girlfriend in Cherry (Olivia Cooke).
However are they all the time advantages? There is not any doubt that the brand new Amazon present is likely one of the most erotic of the yr, however generally that turns into too shut for consolation. As you will see within the under trailer, Laura (Robin Wright) is definitely current in a single specific intercourse scene, and that is one thing that instantly felt “so fallacious” to Davidson and Cooke.
