Amy Ryan Plays a Mother Fighting for Answers in Gripping Trailer for Netflix's 'Lost Girls'

Mar. 16, 2025

No one fights harder for their kids than a mother.

“This is my daughter, Shannan Maria Gilbert,” she says as she staples missing posters to a notice board inside the police station. “There’s one here for every day she’s been missing.”

But when another officer paints doubt on Shannan’s whereabouts the night she died, Mari dismisses him. The real Shannan had been advertising as an escort and was on a job in Long Island the night she was killed.

“My daughter didn’t run away, she’s missing. Her last contact to anyone was with 911. What happened?” Mari says in the trailer.

The eventual search for Shannan led officers to locate four other bodies — but Shannan wasn’t one of them. Gabriel Byrne, playing the lead investigator, warns Mari not to let this get more fire in the press.

“It’s not your daughter, Mrs. Gilbert, which is why it’s important you don’t talk to the media,” he says. But as the trailer reveals, she won’t be deterred.

“No one is talking about our girls, and when they do, it’s prostitute, hooker — never mother, daughter,” Mari tells the families of the other victims. “It’s our job to make sure these girls are not forgotten. I’ve been dismissed and ignored, but one thing I won’t be is silenced.”

Lost Girlswill debut on Netflix on March 13.
