Hulu has dropped the trailer for The Girl From Plainville, a drama starring Elle Fanning as Michelle Carter, the teenager at the center of 2014’s “texting-suicide” case.
The Girl From Plainville, based on the Esquire article of the same name by Jesse Barron, is a limited series that explores Carter’s relationship with Conrad Roy III and the events that led to his death and, later, her conviction of involuntary manslaughter.
In the clip, Fanning tracks Michelle’s first encounters with classmate Conrad Roy (Colton Ryan), their growing romance, his eventual suicide and her final verdict. The dramatic trailer also features Chloë Sevigny as Conrad’s mother Lynn, whose suspicions surrounding her son’s girlfriend begin to grow.
“I want to tell our story, our love story,” Fanning says as Carter.
The Girl From Plainville premieres Mar. 29 on Hulu.
The series is written and executive produced by co-showrunners Liz Hannah and Patrick Macmanus and also executive produced by Fanning and Echo Lake’s Brittany Kahan Ward. Consulting producers include Barron and Erin Lee Carr. Kelly Funke oversees for Macmanus’ Littleton Road Productions. The series also hails from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.
