Meet the cast of BBC One drama Chloe
Erin Doherty stars as a lonely woman who takes on a new identity to find out why her estranged friend died.
Brand new BBC drama Chloe kicked off on Sunday (6th February).
The Crown’s Erin Doherty leads the cast of Chloe as Becky, a 20-something who spends her time compulsively scrolling through the social media accounts of Chloe (Poppy Gilbert), who appears to be leading a much better life than her.
When Chloe suddenly dies, Becky decides to infiltrate her friendship group and work out what exactly happened to her.
The six-part drama is penned by Sex Education director Alice Seabright.
Talking about Becky's character, Seabright (Sex Education) recently told The Guardian in an interview ahead of Chloe's launch: “I feel like everyone who works on the show relates to Becky. Even though none of us have ever infiltrated the life of our dead ex-best friend.”
