That’s what “The Lost Girls” is about
A certain Peter (Louis Partridge) regularly appears in visions to little Wendy (Amelia Minto). In the further course of her life, the curiously magical young man keeps coming back to Wendy (as a teenager: Emily Carey). As she discovers years later, other female relatives, such as her grandmother (Vanessa Redgrave), have been and are visited by Peter.
He’s just asking them to never grow up, please. The now older Wendy (now: Livia De Paolis) continues to follow his advice and, even as a mother, still likes to lose herself in her adventurous fantasies. As a writer, Wendy is not only influenced by beautiful dreams, but also by many more negative memories. After all, many years ago, her mother (Joely Richardson) vanished from her life overnight. So she was raised by her unfortunately much less loving father Clayton (Julian Ovenden)…
This is the cast of “The Lost Girls”
As we follow protagonist Wendy through her life, she is played by three actresses of different ages: newcomer Amelia Minto, ‘House Of The Dragon’ star Emily Carey and Livia De Paolis (‘Mafia Mamma’), who is also responsible for the production and screenplay.
Louis Partridge (“Enola Holmes 1+2”) plays Peter Pan, while Game Of Thrones veteran Iain Glen plays the villainous Captain Hook. Also joining the cast are Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave (“Atonement”), Joely Richardson (“Nip/Tuck”), Season 1’s Julian Ovenden and Siobhan Hewlett (“Redemption”).
