The Girl from Plainville (Hulu): Inspired by the true story of Michelle Carter’s “texting-suicide” case, this eight-episode limited series explores Carter’s relationship with Conrad Roy III and the events that led to his death, as well as her conviction for involuntary manslaughter. Elle Fanning plays Michelle Carter and Cara Buono (of Stranger Things) plays her mother, Gail. Chloë Sevigny also stars in this chilling series from co-creator/co-showrunners Liz Hannah (The Dropout) and Patrick Macmanus (Dr. Death). Hannah tells Glamour, “After reading Jessica Radloff Jesse Barron’s article in Esquire and watching the documentary, I realized just how little I knew about the case and the people involved. I thought there was a really good opportunity to dive into the layers of this story and be a part of the conversation centered around normalizing how we talk about mental health. I hope this leads [the audience] to realize that there are many people in our own lives who deserve our empathy; who are going through things we have no idea about. I hope people know there is always help out there.” Streaming. Three episodes available at launch followed by one a week.
