The 90-minute drama will tell the full story of Hitchcock’s obsessive relationship with The Birds actress Tippi Hedren, played by Sienna Miller.

The cast also includes Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter) as Alma Hitchcock and Penelope Wilton (Downton Abbey) as Hitchcock’s loyal assistant, Peggy Robertson.

The Girl will air in the US on HBO on Saturday 20th October and in the UK on BBC Two later this year.
