Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story is based on the harrowing true story of Chloe Ayling’s abduction in Italy in 2017.

Written by Georgia Lester, known for her work on Killing Eve and Skins, this six-part series dives deep into Chloe’s ordeal.

For the first time, we’ll get a full account of her experience, going beyond the headlines to reveal the emotional truth.

The series follows Chloe’s terrifying kidnap, her bravery in captivity, and the court case that saw her kidnappers jailed.

Despite their convictions, Chloe faced accusations of faking her own kidnapping.

She was thrust into a media storm, questioning why she was blamed for her kidnappers’ crimes.

Nadia Parkes stars as Chloe Ayling.

Joining her are Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Lindsay, Olive Gray, Eleonora Romandini, Julian Swiezewski, and Christine Tremarco.

The series was made with Chloe Ayling’s cooperation and filmed in the UK and Italy last year.
