The casting of Chloë Sevigny opposite Elle Fanning in “The Girl from Plainville” has put this future streaming series on our radar, and maybe on yours as well. Furthermore, it’s based on the real-life case of a young woman. She was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for encouraging her boyfriend via text to commit suicide.

According to the Esquire article by Jesse Barron, The Girl From Plainville is inspired by the true story of the controversial “texting-suicide” case. This limited series will explore Carter’s relationship with Conrad Roy III and the events that led to his death and, later, her controversial conviction of involuntary manslaughter.

Cholodenko will direct the first two episodes of “The Girl from Plainville.” There are two production companies behind this series: Littleton Road and UCP (Universal Cable Productions, a division of Universal Studio Group). Macmanus’ sister, Kelly Funke, is the president of Littleton Road and she will help oversee “The Girl from Plainville.”
