Some would argue that there’s no stronger bond in the world than between a mother and her son. Well, that theory is about to be put to the test in Prime Video’s new thriller series The Girlfriend. Based on Michelle Frances's novel of the same name, the series centers around Laura (Robin Wright) whose seemingly perfect life gets turned on its head when her son, Daniel (Laurie Davidson), introduces her to his new girlfriend, Cherry (Olivia Cooke). To say that the two of them don’t get along would be… an understatement. And while a mother not liking her son’s new girlfriend isn’t exactly an unheard of concept—far from it actually—this feud escalates far beyond awkward silences and passive aggressive remarks.

But who’s really the villain here, when all is said and done? That’s something for the audience (and maybe Daniel) to decide. Either way, you’ll be eager to see how all of the drama plays out throughout the course of this six episode series. So when do new episodes come out? Here’s everything you need to know about The Girlfriend episode release schedule.

When does The Girlfriend premiere?

The series kicks off on Wednesday, September 10 on Prime Video, which means you hardly have to wait at all before diving into this tangled, messy web of mother-son-girlfriend dynamics. So as long as you have a Prime account, you can simply sit back and watch the mayhem unfold at your leisure.

When will new episodes of The Girlfriend come out?

While it’s true that some shows prefer to release episodes on a weekly basis as a way to draw out the suspense for the audience, this particular project has opted to drop its episodes all at once, meaning that all six episodes of the season will be available to watch at the same time beginning on September 10. On the upside, that means you won’t have to wait to see who proves victorious in this Freudian-esque showdown, but at the same time, it means the fun will be over far too soon. So plan your binge watching accordingly.
