Prime Video’s The Girlfriend Draws Big Binge Numbers as Book‑Defying Finale Leaves Renewal in Limbo

A renewal decision hinges on early viewing metrics that Amazon is still evaluating.

Overview

  • All six episodes premiered globally on September 10 on Prime Video, adapted from Michelle Frances’s 2017 novel.
  • Viewers propelled the thriller to a top spot on the service within two days, with widespread reports of same‑day binges.
  • Critics and cast note the season’s ending diverges sharply from the book and closes on a deliberate cliffhanger.
  • Executive producer and director Robin Wright says the creative team pursued a more shocking, character‑driven resolution.
  • Producers Jonathan Cavendish and Andy Serkis say they are ready for a second season if commissioned, but Amazon has not announced a renewal.
