Chloe is a British psychological thriller series that united some of the biggest young names in the UK for a new mystery exploring our obsession with social media.
The thrilling British drama was created by Alice Seabright (director, Sex Education) and aired on BBC One in February, but is premiering outside of the UK on Prime Video in June.
This sx-parter follows Becky (The Crown's Erin Doherty), a social media-obsesssed twentysomething who regularly sneaks into society events to escape her own drab life as a temp. After the death of Chloe— one of Becky's Instagram idols— she engineers a chance encounter with one of Chloe's closest friends so she can try to work out exactly what happened.

Chloe premiered in the UK on Sunday, February 6. All six episodes of the series have now aired and are available to watch on BBC iPlayer in the UK.

Who is in the Chloe cast?
Chloe's ensemble cast is comprised of Erin Doherty (The Crown), Billy Howle (The Serpent), Pippa Bennett-Warner (Gangs of London), Jack Farthing (Poldark), Poppy Gilbert (Stay Close), Akshay Khanna (Grace), Brandon Michael Hall (Search Party), and newcomer Alexander Elio.
What's the plot?
Chloe was described as "a mystery about obsession, deceit, identity and grief". It follows Becky (Erin Doherty) a young woman who still lives with her mum. She’s working as a temp and is living her life through the apparently flawless lives of social media influencers. In particular, Becky has become obsessed with an Instagram account owned by Chloe (Poppy Gilbert).
When her idol suddenly passes away, Becky adopts a new identity as “Sasha” so she can infiltrate Chloe’s circle of friends and uncover what happened to the social media starlet. As her "Sasha" alter-ego, Becky becomes a larger-than-life heroine living a far more exciting life than her actual one. Will Becky lose herself completely in the game she’s playing? Only time will tell...
Seabright says: “Becky is a complex, courageous heroine and there is no one better to play her than Erin. All these characters have been a dream to write, and it now feels like they’ve found their soulmates in our amazing cast. I can’t wait to start bringing the show to life with them, and with our wonderful crew."
The show also takes full advantage of its Bristol setting, as the show will feature artwork from local artists from the region and an original score from Will Gregory (one-half of electronic music dup, Goldfrapp).
Is there a trailer for Chloe?
Yes! It shows Becky adopting her new identity as Sasha in the wake of Chloe's mysterious death, but as people start to realise that she isn't who she's pretending to be, her life and lies start to unravel...
