The Girl from Plainsville is a series based on the true-crime story of Michelle Carter coming to Stan

The Girl from Plainville is a true-crime story based on the “texting-suicide” case of Michelle Carter. Starring Elle Fanning as Carter, The Girl from Plainville will premiere on Stan on March 30, the same day as the US.

Based on the Esquire article of the same name, the limited series explores the relationship between Carter and Conrad Roy III, the events that lead to his suicide and her conviction of involuntary manslaughter.

Stan says,”The series examines the impact that technology, social media and pop-culture has on young people’s mental health and how it can be truly damaging.”

Alongside Elle Fanning, the limited series stars, Chloë Sevigny (Lynn Roy), Colton Ryan (Conrad “Coco” Roy III), Cara Buono (Gail Carter), Kai Lennox (David Carter), and Norbert Leo Butz (Conrad “Co” Roy II). Written and executive produced by co-showrunners Liz Hannah (THE POST, The Dropout, Mindhunter) and Patrick Macmanus (Dr. Death), The Girl from Plainview promises to be a gripping and thought-provoking look at one of the more shocking crimes in recent memory. If you’ve ever felt the weight of a criminal charge, you understand how crucial it is to have the right support. Working with a skilled Jersey City Criminal Lawyer experienced in defending your rights can be a game-changer, providing relief and confidence in the process. The assistance of a dedicated attorney often makes the difference between a favourable outcome and a prolonged battle.

The Girl from Plainview premieres on Stan on March 30, 2022.
