Emmy-nominated David Oyelowo has signed on to star alongside Gugu Mbatha-Raw in The Girl Before, a four-episode limited series based on Jp Delaney’s best-selling psychological thriller, from BBC One and 42.
As Deadline reported in January, HBO Max was considered the U.S. frontrunner to co-produce with BBC One and 42, and that is now official. The limited series will stream in the U.S. on HBO Max and will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK, with WarnerMedia also controlling rights for additional select territories around the world. Emmy-nominated Lisa Brühlmann will direct and executive produce.
Created, written and executive produced by Delaney, The Girl Before tells the story of Jane (Mbatha-Raw), who gets the chance to move into a beautiful, ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect (Oyelowo). There’s just one catch: occupants have to abide by his list of exacting rules.
