The six-part series will debut on 8th January 2026, and to go along with the announcement Paramount has also released a host of first-look images.
The series, which has been based on the novel Baby Doll by Hollie Overton, follows the story of twin sisters Lily and Abby, the former of whom is abducted from their quiet rural English town by beloved local teacher Rick.
The synopsis for the series says: "After years of abuse in captivity, Lily escapes - only to discover that freedom brings its own challenges. The world she longed to return to has moved on without her.
"As Abby, Lily and their mother Eve struggle to rebuild their family, they must confront the lasting damage and the terrifying reality that Rick is still out there, determined to control the narrative and evade justice. Raw and emotionally charged, Girl Taken is a gripping exploration of trauma, resilience, sisterhood, and the high cost of reclaiming one’s life."
As well as Halfpenny, Allen and Tallulah and Delphi Evans, the series will also star Vikash Bhai (Virdee), Niamh Walsh (Smother), Levi Brown (This Town), Victoria Ekanoye (The Turkish Detective), Holly Atkins (MobLand) and Kiran Krishnakumar (What it Feels Like For a Girl).
The series has been adapted from Overton's novel by David Turpin (The Cuckoo), Suzanne Cowie (The Good Ship Murder) and Nessah Muthy (Grantchester), while Laura Way (Maxine) and Bindu de Stoppani (Beyond Paradise) direct.
