Jane starts to feel the house changing her in unexpected ways but when she makes the shocking discovery that her predecessor Emma died in the house, she&#8217;s forced to confront unnerving similarities.

With what will surely be stellar performances from the incomparable Gugu Mbatha-Raw and David Oyelowo, One Folgate Street is about to welcome new houseguests from both sides of the pond.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gugu Mbatha-Raw quote: &#8220;I&#8217;m so excited to work with this amazing team on such a compelling story in my debut role as an actor and producer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>David Oyelowo quote: &#8220;This story is mind-bending in its clever construction and intricacy. I can&#8217;t wait to see it, let alone be in it. Plus, I&#8217;d go anywhere to work with my friend Gugu again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>JP Delaney quote: &#8220;Having written for the screen in a previous career, it&#8217;s long been a dream of mine to adapt THE GIRL BEFORE, but I was determined to only do it if I could find partners who wanted to pursue high-quality, classy storytelling above all else. You really couldn&#8217;t get a more quality-focused line-up than 42, the BBC, and HBO Max &#8211; and we&#8217;ve already attracted world-class talent in the shape of Lisa, Gugu, and David. Psychological thrillers can be even more gripping on television than they would be as movies, and I&#8217;m incredibly excited to be re-telling this particular story in a visual medium. It&#8217;s also been great fun to collaborate on episodes two and three with a brilliant co-writer, Marissa Lestrade.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-2634554054\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lisa Br\u00fchlmann quote: &#8220;Can our surroundings, like a special house, affect who we are, even change us?
