A Friend of the Family is based on the true story of the Broberg family, “whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over a period of years by a charismatic, obsessed family ‘friend.’ The Brobergs — devoted to their faith, family, and community — were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.”

Also starring in the series are Stranger Things‘ Hendrix Yancey (who played Thirteen), Mckenna Grace and Jake Lacy.

Details on Ella‘s character are currently unknown. Hendrix will play Young Jan, Mckenna will portray Jan in later years, and Jake will play the family friend, Robert “B” Berchtold.
