Dear Child is the latest six-part Netflix thriller series based on Romy Hausmann’s novel of the same title.
“Lena lives in complete isolation with her two children, Hannah and Jonathan, in a high-security house,” per the synopsis for the German series. “They eat their meals, go to the bathroom, and go to bed at precisely prescribed times. As soon as he enters the room, they line up to show their hands. They do everything he says. Until the young woman manages to escape. After a near-fatal car accident, she is hospitalized, accompanied by Hannah.”
“Dear Child starts where traditional thrillers end: with redemption,” the synopsis continues. “But the true extent of this nightmare is revealed when Lena’s parents arrive at the hospital the same night. They have been desperately searching for their missing daughter for almost 13 years…”
The series is set to debut September 7.
