'Unbelievable': Release date, plot, cast, trailer, and everything else about the Netflix show
On Thursday, Netflix dropped the terrific trailer for its upcoming miniseries titled 'Unbelievable', which stars Kaitlyn Dever at the center of a rape. One look at the latest trailer for the miniseries and it is going to leave your guts wrenched. The series follows a teenager named Marie, who is charged with lying about being raped. Her story is rubbished at first, but in another corner of the country, two female detectives follow a twisting path to arrive at the truth.

All eight episodes of 'Unbelievable' will be available to stream on Netflix September 13, 2019, onwards.
Plot
When teenager Marie Adler (played by Kaitlyn Dever) files a police report claiming she's been sexually assaulted by an intruder in her home, the investigating detectives, as well as the people closest to her, come to doubt the truth of her story. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, detectives Grace Rasmussen and Karen Duvall (played by Emmy winners Toni Collette and Merritt Wever) meet while investigating an eerily similar pair of intruder rapes and partner to catch a potential serial rapist.
