Peacock has released a trailer for the upcoming true crime drama miniseries A Friend of the Family, starring Anna Paquin and Jake Lacy.
The series is based on the harrowing true story of the Broberg family, “whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over a period of years by a charismatic, obsessed family ‘friend.’ The Brobergs — devoted to their faith, family, and community — were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.”
This horrifying story is based on Mary Ann Broberg’s memoir Stolen Innocence: The Jan Broberg Story and she serves as executive producer on the series. There’s also a documentary series on Netflix titled Abducted in Plain Sight, which was just absolutely insane and unbelievable!
The drama stars Anna Paquin as Mary Ann Broberg, Jake Lacy (The White Lotus) as Robert Berchtold, Colin Hanks (The Offer) as Bob, Lio Tipton (Why Women Kill) as Gail Berchtold, and Hendrix Yancey and McKenna Grace as Jan Broberg.
A Friend of the Family comes from writer, executive producer, and showrunner Nick Antosca (The Act). Eliza Hittman (Never Rarely Sometimes Always) will direct multiple episodes, including the pilot. It’s set to premiere on October 6th. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
