To celebrate the UK release of The Girl From Plainville, which debuts on Starzplay this month, we sat down with some of its cast to find out about the critically-acclaimed series.
Based on the definitive Esquire article by Jesse Barron, The Girl From Plainville stars Elle Fanning as Michelle Carter and is inspired by the true story of her unprecedented ‘texting-suicide’ case. The limited series explores Carter’s relationship with Conrad Roy III and the events that led to his death and, later, her conviction of involuntary manslaughter.
Chatting to cast members Colton Ryan (Conrad Roy III), Aya Cash (Katie Rayburn), and Cara Buono (Gail Carter), we discuss the unique challenges of not just playing real people but those who were integral parts of the court case and subsequent convictions, how they approached the delicate nature of the show, the rave reviews from its US debut and the brilliance of Elle Fanning,...

About halfway through The Girl From Plainville‘s penultimate episode (released on Hulu Tuesday), Aya Cash‘s Katie Rayburn begins her cross-examination of Dr. Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist who’d just given a questionable testimony on teenager Michelle Carter’s behalf.
It’s a crucial moment for Katie, the assistant district attorney prosecuting the case: Her chances of getting Michelle convicted of involuntary manslaughter seem to have dwindled during the trial, and she’s left to hope that Dr. Breggin will fumble on the stand while she’s questioning him. But for Cash, the scene came with equally high stakes,...

There’s a moment in “The Girl from Plainville” where Elle Fanning’s Michelle Carter has a “Glee”-esque song and dance routine with boyfriend Conrad “Coco” Roy (Colton Ryan). As the two perform “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” in the street of her suburban home, it captures everything that makes the series both engaging and frustrating.
It’s a compelling viewpoint into how Carter saw her relationship with Roy — a young man she would encourage to kill himself in the summer of 2014 — but also is one of the few surrealist moments that the series doesn’t have nearly enough of.
Liz Hannah (executive producer on “The Dropout” and Patrick MacManus’ (executive producer on “Dr. Death”) limited series follows Carter and Roy, from their first meeting on a Florida tennis court to the moment of Roy’s eventual suicide and Carter’s trial for it. Many might already know the story from the 2019 documentary,...
