Introducing your parents to your significant other is a time-honored tradition, and one of Hollywood's favorite romance stories to tell. While that meeting does take place in The Girlfriend, this psychological thriller carries things even further as two women's instant dislike for each other constantly escalates. House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke headlines this series as the title character, Cherry. Robin Wright also stars as Laura, the mother of Cherry's new boyfriend, Daniel (Laurie Davidson).
